Some people on the CD forums are saying I sound like I may be suffering from Fibro.  My question is do the pain symptoms come and go?  I was achy all over for 7 days then finally after a good nights sleep (I took a double dose of my Elavil that night) and I woke up less achey than  I had in days is that also indicative of fibro?

Hi, it could very well be. There is a thread at the top of the page called fibro 101 that has a ton of info in it. I am sure someone else will be along that can help more than I can.

I have read that a couple of times now and I do match lots of the symptoms and through the years I have been given all diff Dx for each of the symptoms that apply to me yet no one has attempted to r/o fibro or CFS just have ruled out lyme and RA and lupus like syndrome from my CD meds

Hard to say, but yes, the symptoms can come and go, for sure. I don't think they ALL ever go away for any length of time (at least, mine sure don't.)

If you have Fibro sleep can make a really big difference in pain. Well it does for me unless I am in what is called a Flare.
It can take time for them to work out if you have Fibro or not. Just stick with it, keeping a record or diary of what is happening to you and showing that to your GP can be a big help.

Yes, some of my symptoms come and go especially with a good nights sleep! Be careful not to overdo when you are feeling better because it is the fastest way I know back to flare up town!

Best wishes!
