It's official...
...I have fibromyalgia (FM) I think all and all I just knew that I had it and just needed a doctor to get to the heart of the problem. It will take time for Nick and I both to learn to cope with it, and to just take this journey together is medicine enough for me.
If you have an hour (LOL), here is a list of symptoms that I have experienced over the past 2 years. Some are ones that I have every-so-often and others are ones that are always here. Enjoy!!
• Chronic fatigue
• Decreased energy

• Sore throat
• Shortness of breath, with little exertion
• Frequent sighing
• Chronic sinusitis
• Recurrent cough
• Frequent changes between feeling hot and cold
• Generally low body temp (usually around 97.6)
• Dry eyes and mouth
• Always thirsty
• Symptoms seem to get worse with temp changes and stress
• Headaches (mainly migraine type)
