I’m 29F, and I feel like I’ve been in and out of the doctors for various reasons for 10 years, usually to no avail. I have a diagnosis of PCOS and ADHD.
For around 10 years I have had:
- Chronic neck and back pain with persistent trigger point (one particularly area in my neck burns every day. Physio hasn’t helped at all)
- Persistent muscle tightness (especially calves)
- Persistent fatigue, never feeling refreshed after sleep
- Frequent muscle twitching
- Memory and brain fog issues
- Poor sleep and insomnia at times
- Migraines
- TMJ (jaw clicks every time I open my mouth, and I have persistent facial pain and headache)
- Long-term bloating which is significantly bad right now
- History of anxiety
I feel like doctors have looked into my bloating, my TMJ, my tiredness, and my neck pain and nothing has ever been found which has just made it all the more confusing.
But then I found out about fibromyalgia, and my god….! This could potentially explain everything?!
Any experiences or thoughts much appreciated.
