Default Think I have Fibromyalgia

I have been reading on this forum, because I already know that I have S.A.D., and for awhile I have been wondering why I am so sensitive to pain on certain body areas. I checked out a link that was left on another thread, and I experience the following symptoms:

- blurred vision (this has been happening for yrs! I was happy to have ruled out glaucoma,just attributed it to tiredness)
- chest pains and pressure beneath the breast bone
- cramps
- dizziness
- fatigue
- gastroesophogeal reflux (GERD) – sometimes called heartburn or acid stomach
- general aches and pains
- intermittent hearing problems and low-frequency hearing loss
- memory and reasoning problems ("brain fog")
- morning stiffness
- muscle twitching
- nighttime grinding of teeth (bruxism)
- pelvic pain
- pre-menstrual syndrome
- sleep problems, insomnia
- temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ)
- tingling or numbness in arms, legs, feet or face
- water retention and swelling; especially in the hands, face and feet
The dr.s have been trying to figure out for almost 3 yr. now why my feet swell up for no apparent reason. They all suggested blood clots, or my heart... had medical tests done & all come back negative for that. I also checked out the post of where the pain points are., and gadz I almost came through the ceiling when pushing on some of them! I guess that this will be something that I will be bringing up the next time I visit a doctor. They are going to think I am a hypochondriac! It's a good thing that I've been griping about the same thing for some years now!
