Does anyone have unexplained weight loss with fibro? I've lost 30 lbs. unintentionally and unable to gain anything back. I've been scoped from both ends, and had a CT scan and nothing. I feel like this disease has ruined my once enjoyable life. So depressed from all these symptoms. I've had pain in my face, vaginal and genital pain, stabbing, burning pain all over, chronic fatigue, headaches, nausea that can come on suddenly, chronic constipation, you name it. I remember years ago with a flare, my legs felt like they were severely sunburned, weird and scary stuff that make me wish I could just go back to feeling normal like I used to. I remember once getting stabbing in my waist and was admitted to hospital for nausea so severe that nothing that they gave me helped, not even a drug they give chemotherapy patients. I'm on lyrica, elavil and propranolol. Had to buy new pants because all mine were like hanging on me. My arms are so bony looking. I saw a surgeon to get my thyroid out. He says it really should be removed as it's quite enlarged and also because my brother had thyroid cancer that that is another reason mine should come out. He wants to give me a PET test, radioactive test to see if there is cancer somewhere in my body. I believe this is a waste of time, it's fibro doing this to me. I can be suffering with all these strange symptoms and all my tests so far have come out negative. I feel like I'm tired of living with all this. Sorry for all this info, but I just need someone to talk to.
