Is this a symptoms of Fibro?

My mother has been driving me insane she has fibro as well and if i have a symptom that she does not then she tells me it is not fibro and that i probably have something really bad. I had blood work done up and everything was normal so the doc believes that it is fibromyalgia. But she syas that she has not had this symptom and that other diseases can be masked and that i am probably dying. It drives me insane I do not want to dye but feel likei am. I feel shaky all the time if you look at me i am not shaking but my muscles feel shaky anyone else with fibro have this?

Hi Kittybear and welcome to Healing well. I am sorry you are going through so much right now. Fibro is bad enough without the added stress of thinking something else is going on. I would talk to your doctor about all the stuff that is going on. Like Saintsfan said, we all have different symptoms at times. Best to let your doctor decide what is normal or what isn't. Take care and keep posting!

Hi, Kittybear1,

The shaking thing could be a side effect to medication. Are you taking anything for the fibro? Especially since you said you FEEL like you are shaking but can't see it from the outside. I call myself the side effect queen and my family Dr said I have been a first for him with many of my different medicaitons. I take tramadol on occasion to deal with the really bad days. I explained to my mom that I feel like I am trying to turn myself inside out..lol. I don't know how else to explain that. Even if you've been on medication for a long time, it's possible to develope side effects later. Been there, done that too. And yes, fibro symptoms effect everyone differently. Before I got my official diagnosis, I felt like I was dying too. Then it was like someone said "OH don't worry. You aren't dying. It's just firbo. You'll live a long, healthy pain filled life..."

I started to think I was in a flare starting yesterday but now I think I am coming down with something. I am VERY weak and all the sudden I have substances trying to leave my body from 3 different locations. (if you catch my drift...TMI, I know...). MAN I hope this ain't the flu but it sure feels like it. Unless it's a flare with my IBS kicking into full swing at the same time. Oh joy.

There are 4 of us in the one family not including my mother, we all have different things that show up in us. I will not list them all but we are different. My DIL had to come to see me when she first started to date my son because it frighten her. Now she knows what is wrongf and goes with him to see the Doctor he is seeing just to back him up. His Doctor thinks its something else when all his tests show nothing.
Have your mother read Fibro 101 she will see just how vast the different things of Fibro can be.
The 4 of us are me, 2 sons and our daughter.

Thanks again everyone! It is good to know that everyone is different and so that it affects all of us in a different way.  I did check out the fibro 101 and it was very helpful. I am just trying to deal with everything and keep on pushing through. But it can get very hard cause i am only 24 years old and i have Fibromyalgia,scoliosis,sinis disease, high anxiety,and have just had a biopsy to see what is going on with that. I just think 24 year olds should not be this sickly. But i am just going to live everyday to the fullest and enjoy what i can of life. What does not kill me will onlt make me stronger. Thanks everyone for wonderful advice and support.

I have hand tremors all the time! Even when I am at work I'll be sitting there holding a pen and the dang thing is bobbing all over the place...lol. That is just one of the lucky things we all deal with, because we all don't deal with enough! I hope it gets better for you. I know I have just been able to deal with mine and just try to get past it. Good luck!

 

Well wishes!
