I HAVE HAD STIFFNESS, FATIGUE, TIREDNESS, PAIN FROM NECK DOWN THE BACK, TENDERNESS, TROUBLE SLEEPING, AND LOTS OF PAIN IN MY MUSCLES AND JOINTS FROM MY HIPS DOWN TO MY FEET. WORSE AT NIGHT AND SOMETIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. COULD THIS BE FIBROMYALGIA? MY DOCTOR HAS DONE SEVERAL TEST AND ALL WERE OK.

I can't sleep at night and I don't know why. Some is due to the legs hurting, burning feeling. I have to my doctor about all the body hurting and not sleeping at night. He stated he didn't see anything wrong, maybe due to going thru the change. He gave me sleeping pills which I have tried but they don't keep you sleeping for longer than 2 hours. My right side face hurts, right ear. Had ENT check it out and said just allergies, get shots. Can't believe you can't find a good doctor to take care of you anymore. It seems it's all about pushing you in and out of doctors offices like cows, only for a dollar.

Yes it could be Fibro. When you say the Doc did several tests, what type of tests? Did you give him the symptoms, like you state you have trouble sleeping, in what way? Do you toss and turn, get up walk around, are you worried, anxious, do you sleep? The stiffness is when? Early morning, all day long, in bed at night? You have to be a wee bit more specific with Doctors.

To get a true diagnosis of fibromyalgia, you must see a Rheumatologist. I have been diagnosed 10 yrs ago, back then most Dr. thought I was crazy. You have alot of my symptoms but cannot be diagnosed except by a Rheumatologist, they touch specific trigger points and believe me you will know by him. GOOD LUCK

yes this could be fibromyaliga, although fibromyaliga is normally felt in your muscles instead of the joints. there is a wonderful website that isn't to old that tells alot more than i can. it is www.fibrohope.org
good luck, i sure hope it is something else. fibromyaliga is hell to live with
