My GP has said for some time that I have an auto immune disorder . She doesn t seem to have a solution or name other than fibromyalgia. I have been diagnosed with many inflammatory diseases and am in nearly constant pain from one source or other. (Asthma, Fibrosis in Lungs, Arthritis (including spine and all joints), Fibromyalgia, Celiac Disease, Costochondritis). Any medications that have been able to provide relief my now be taking a toll on my liver and causing symptoms of failure according to my Dr. I am unsure what type of specialist I should be looking for to try to find a solution and some relief.
Thank you for your question! I understand your concern. Symptoms of fibromyalgia (FM) are diffuse pain all over the body with some tender points, joint pains, weakness, sleep disturbances and mood disturbances. They frequently interfere with our daily activities. First thing you have to know is FM is benign condition, but take long time to cure. Aerobic exercises, though give you pain and fatigue for short time, it will help you a lot to improve your condition. So, keep doing aerobic exercises. Maintaining regular time for sleeping also helps your condition. You can try amitriptyline tablets. Consult your physician to know the dosage according to your weight and symptoms severity. It is okay to follow up with your GP and there is no need of consulting a specialist. Wishing you fast recovery!
