Hi, Lovelife62, and welcome! First of all, HealingWell does not have a lung disease forum. I’m so sorry. Secondly, fibromyalgia does not cause these types of illnesses. I was diagnosed with fibro 36 years ago and haven’t had a lung issue plus I’ve been a moderator on this forum for 18 years and haven’t heard about fibromyalgia members having lung issues either.
People think fibrositis and fibromyalgia are the same illness but they aren’t. Here is a good explanation. “While fibrositis and fibromyositis have some symptoms in common with fibromyalgia, FMS does not involve inflammation. Fibromyalgia is increasingly thought to be associated with abnormal pain processing areas of the brain, making it a neurological disorder rather than a rheumatological disorder.”
So I did look up your lung problems through the Mayo Clinic. You can see symptoms, causes, etc. and fibromyalgia isn’t listed there either. But I do hope this can help you some while you find a lung forum.
