Hello all,
I'm a lurker :) I have a question .....
Does it ever go away completely or is this a lifetime disorder? I have the
pain & fatigue and now I have swallowing difficulties. I had an Endoscopy
done and my GI doc said the problem is Fibro.
Love
Cathy

Everyone is different, Rod. �For me, it is constant pain, no remissions.

I've been to several website dealing with the disease, but some of the
info is either out of date
or incomplete. What are the common symptoms of the disease ? is the pain
constant, or does it
come and go ?

Everyone does have one similar symptom. Pain. Not in the joints, but
in muscles and tendons. There are supposed to be 18 points that when
pushed on you will have pain. You need 11 of these points to be
dx'd. Most of my pain is burning pain. I have pain in neck,
shoulders, arms, and hips. It does, however travel to different
places each day.
There is remision, but it does not last. This is a lifetime
diagnosis. You need to learn to live with it and change things in
your day to day living. You need to not push yourself beyond what you
can handle because you will find yourself just getting worse.
"They " say it is not progresive, but I disagree with that. In the
last 10 years I have sure gotten worse.
