Can anyone help me?
About nine months ago, I got sick. I had a swollen lymph node in my armpit, severe pain all over my body, and intense headaches. Three months ago, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Since the diagnoses, I have developed more symtpoms. I have rectal bleeding, excessive urinatian, a large growth in my vagina that hurts when I try to insert a tampon, and twitches in my limps and muscles that I cannot control. I also have stomach cramps that hurt a lot, and diahrrea. I'm thinking that the original diagnoses may be wrong. Are the symptoms serious enough to have a trip to the doctor? My next appointment is in september, and I think I should just wait until then. For extra info, I'm 14, and, obviously, a girl. I take 3,200 mg of ibuprofen every day, if that has anything to do when anything.
No other dr. will see me besides the one I am going to.

1. Go back to the doctor now. Anytime you have changes, you should make an appointment and go see the doctor. I would not wait another 3 months, so many more things can happen/change in that time.2. Yes, by all means, go to the doctor asap! Why would you wait and worry until September?
3. See your doctor if you experience general aching or widespread pain that lasts several months and is accompanied by fatigue. Many of the symptoms of fibromyalgia mimic those of other diseases, such as low thyroid hormone production (hypothyroidism), polymyalgia rheumatica, neuropathies, lupus, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Your doctor can help determine if one of these other conditions may be causing your symptoms.
See your doctor or another one, as IMHO fibromyalgia is a catch all diagnosis and frequently is given when nothing else fits!
4. If I was you I would make an appt with a different dr (second opinion) as soon as possible. This does not sound like fibromyalgia....also taking that much ibuprofen, could cause other health issues...
5. i would go unless you want to find out that you waited to long and you are going to die
6. Ibuprofen can cause bleeding, you should tell your dr. all your symptoms ASAP....if you don't feel you're getting the treatment you need by all means see another dr....
