Could I have Fibromyalgia?

I'm only 18 years old, and relatively healthy but I have been experiencing pain lately (Mostly in my leg.) So I looked it up and Fibromyalgia popped up...

I have these symptoms:
Chronic muscle pain, muscle spasms or tightness, weakness in the limbs, and leg cramps
Moderate or severe fatigue and decreased energy
Insomnia or waking up feeling just as tired as when you went to sleep (Very!)
Stiffness upon waking or after staying in one position for too long
Difficulty remembering, concentrating, and performing simple mental tasks (A lot!)
Abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and constipation alternating with diarrhea (I have some abdominal pain that comes and goes.)
Feeling anxious or depressed
Increase in urinary urgency or frequency (irritable bladder)
Reduced tolerance for exercise and muscle pain after exercise
Painful menstrual periods (Extremely painful!)
Dizziness (Mostly only when I'm on my period.)

Opinions and advice? I'm kind of worried.. Thanks in advance!

1. sounds to me ur growing, and the dizzy, fateeg and sutch can be explained but simply maybe not be active enogh, or not enough red meat in ur diet, and if u have insomnia got to ur doc. and imsonia is normaly u sleep 2 days out of a week so i dont think u have that all of a suden a nother thing it could be is early arthitis sign depending on ur active past, and on ur hight n wieght but one way or a other u would need to go to ur family fasition to kknow for sure hoope i helped

2. there are many things that cause these symptoms...

the 1st thing that came to mind is AMENIA (iron deficiency)--

could also be a different deficiency like B, D, magnesium or any other..

or Lymes (look up lyme literate md)

or Mono (you need a full EBV panel--not the mono spot test

as well as many other possibilities


everyone and their brother thinks they have FMS nowadays--it is highly overdiagnosed by idiot docs who use it as a general label for pain--most people really have something else--some aren't sick at all.

3. problems from diabetes? Avoid sugar. Get tested.
