Hi, Ptmama, and welcome. I saw on another thread where you said you lost use of your legs, too. I've not heard of that with fibro. Be sure to read Fibro 101..the second thread on the forum. Check out the links called Symptoms, What Else Could It Be, and A Thorough Explanation of Fibromyalgia and see if you fit. The illnesses in What Else Could It Be are usually ruled out before a diagnosis of fibro is given.
I've lost 95 pounds by counting carbohydrates. There is a lot of the Internet about that so you can google it and see. Extra weight affects everything! You will feel better if you can lose some.
