Lately i feel like i have not slept in a week even though i get about 8hrs of sleep a night, I get dizzy spells to the point where i feel like i'm going to faint, cant concentrate, nausea, vomiting, clammy hands, and i feel like i am getting some memory loss there for people tell me i keep repeating myself, and my arms and legs feel like they are jello i know there are more symptoms i am forgetting but these are the ones that concern me the most. This has been going on REALLY bad for the last couple weeks but started a couple months ago. I have fibro and was diagnosed in 2009 but told in 2002 i was told i could possibly have it. I have never been this bad before and i don't know what it is or could be, i have been checked for mono, sugar, blood pressure, vitamin b12 and iron basically everything and it came back normal i don't know if anyone has had this with fibro before

Hi Jenny,

In reading your post, you practically described me with one exception; I have not had any vomiting. However, the rest of your symptoms are me dead on. I was just diagnosed with Fibro on March 14, 2011. The doctor gave me Lyrica; which has done nothing for me and the side effects are horrible. The only two things my doctor tested me for before telling me I am the "Poster Child for Fibro" were RA & Lupus. Lately though my fatigue/exhaustion levels are through the roof as is my anxiety level. I am finding that I have the memory loss as well, in fact it seems to be getting worse everyday. I am not sure what your symptoms could mean, I wish I had an answer for you or at least some helpful advice. I just wanted you to know that you are not alone with this and that you will always have someone to talk to in here. Maybe a visit to your doctor would help you discover the meaning of your symptoms. My Rheum doc hasn't helped at all yet, but then again I've only seen him once. I go back again on Thursday for a 2nd visit since my dx.

Take care & Gentle hugs for you

Jen

My symptoms seem to be getting worse day by day also, I spent Easter weekend in 2 different hospitals and they did blood work for sugar and a urine sample said everything was fine the 2nd hospital did the same and an xray of my stomach and that was fine to, i have no idea what to do or where to go if 2 hospitals cant help me figure out what is going on with me, i am a single mother of 2 boys 3 and 4 and its making it VERY hard to deal with all this
Thanks for letting me know i am not the only one

Thanks jen

Are you on any medication at all?

Wow, Jenny. I just started having the same kinds of issues. I'm actually calling today to make appointments to see if I should have blood work done. I almost feel like my blood sugar is spiking and dropping... I get weak, sweaty and kinda funky feeling. I've been kinda nauseous, but no vomiting. Then it goes away. I started noticing muscle issues two weeks ago, and I'm afraid something is progressing. I've been very tired as well, even though I sleep a lot.

So, I'm not much help, but I wanted you to know you aren't alone! Let us know what you find out!

Jenny, I have some periods like that too. I get dizzy, feel nauseated, and sometimes feel like I am gonna faint, esp if I push myself. I have never vomited though. My symptoms feel like a 24 hr bug. I usually get a headache and it all upsets my ibs. I can remember grocery shopping with my hubby and we couldn't stay long, I felt sooo funny, kinda dizzy, sick feeling and felt like I was walking on a cloud. System overload lol. I don't take any meds besides otc. My b12 was very low. I did get shots from md 2x a week for 6 weeks. I have a little more energy now, maybe not as forgetful..lol.

Take care,
Karen

Hi, Jenny, and welcome!  I'm glad that you found us and joined the family. 

 

I get periods where I'm more exhausted and I've been dizzy, too.  Chompers asked if you are on any medication.  If you are, google it and check the side effects.  Many time that can be causing the problem.  THEN, when  you factor in anxiety, that makes any symptom a lot worse because we can conjure up the worst possible scenerios.  Stress and anxiety just make anything worse.

 

Since you've been checked out several times, try to relax about it.  When I was suffering from anxiety, I could take on the symptoms of many illnesses!  I finally got a grip on the anxiety and I've been fine since.  Anxiety could possibly be causing the nausea, weakness in the legs, as well as the clammy hands.  I'm not a doctor but, since you've been checked out by one, this is my guess.

 

Be sure to read Fibro 101...the second thread on the forum.  There are links to good information about fibro and you will learn a lot there.  Read Symptoms and A Thorough Explanation of Fibromyalgia.  These are good starting points for you.

 

I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.  Don't hesitate to ask questions because we are here to help you.  I hope to hear more from you soon.

could you possibly be suffering from reactive hypoglycemia? This does not show up on blood work and it does not mean you have diabetes. what happens is that you eat too much sugar w/o protein and about 1 1/2 -3 hours later your sugar will go way high and then plunge. I have had this happen to me on several occassions (one time I almost blacked out from it - very scary). There is no cure because there is really nothing wrong that a well balance meal cannot fix. Always have some sort of protein in each meal and do not have "sugar" only for breakfast (no waffles, pancakes, cereal unless you have some kind of meat, cheese or eggs to go with it). I have had a gastric bypass so I should have known better about having waffles only for breakfast but I was stupidly stubborn and they were calling my name. Never again.
