it is possible that this is fibro. There
are informational sites that you can go to
talk to your doctor!

How old are you? Just curios. I had pains
and tingeling in my arms and bad headaches
from a herniated disc in my neck. The
tongue sensations would really make me
nervous.
Take care,
Sandy

I don't know, but I have the same
question, too!
I'm a dancer, and so I get a lot of sore
muscles, which is very normal. But about
a year ago I started getting horrible
pains in my calves. And it's more like
the inner side of my calves. It doesn't
improve with stretching and it'll last for
days at a time. I also experience the
same thing in my upper back (this has been
occuring for years), especially if I'm
stressed or on the go.

It actually doesn't sound like fibro to
me. I have fibro. I do have concerns with
what you are describing, however. It
definitely sounds like something is going
on. I would see a rheumatologist for some
additional assistance. I don't know.
Another posted stated herniated
disk...that sounds like a possibility as
well. It just doesn't sound like fibro to
me. My fibro is mild, though.

Hi Idahoan!! It's cold!
The thing about an actual fibro diagnosis
is that you
There are 18 tender points located on the
body that are looked at in order to
determine a fibro dx. If 11 out of the 18
points are "tender" or sore in a patient
AND is like that for at least three months
or more, then an individual can be dx
with fibro. The points of pressure are in
various places on the body such as the
neck, shoulders, chest, elbows, lower
back, and knees. I hit 10 out of 18
pressure points so I was considered
"borderline." Kind of stupid if you ask
me.
I just don't think that deer would have
met the criteria. Perhaps? You are right
in that it does affect everyone
differently.HOnestly, I am NO expert on
fibro and I am sure many people on here
know much more than I do.
I would definitely want to rule out other
things such as arthritis, lupus and MS.
I really hope you figure out what is going
on. It is such a frustrating road.

Yeah its cold---up here we keep getting
dumped on by snow and then it rains. ick.
I am no expert either. perhaps together we
can figure this out. I have a friend that
has lupus and ms and she droped the
fibromyalgia word the other day--i wonder
if all are related--perhaps?

See a Neurologist Posted: 01-13-08 19:46pm
i don't think it's fibro. i have it and
the only time i've had a lot of what
you're talking about was from a herniated
disc in my cervical spine and from a
pinched nerve. please see a neurologist,
especially since your tongue is affected.
fibro is more just pain... like a mixture
of arthritis, cancer, and more; some days
you're okay; other days you wonder if you
are terminally ill and no one has caught
it. you just hurt really bad. like someone
else said, there's 18 or so trigger
points. i had a rheumatologist test me. i
tested positive on all of them. you don't
have to be positive on all 18, though...
not sure what the number is.
