Possible Fibromyalgia Symptoms - Seeking Advice

Part of me wonders if I have fibromyalgia... my dad has it really bad and he and I share the same narcissistic abuser. I'm tired every day, wake up sore, and have had back, shoulder, and neck pain for years. I have sensitive eyes and sometimes my skin randomly hurts to the touch, and since something kinda traumatic happened with my abuser this summer it's just been getting worse. I also have crazy temperature fluctuations ever day including sweaty hot flashes and shivery cold spells. I just don't have the consistent tender points, which makes me doubt. Is this my Health OCD twisting my mind or do these symptoms seem worthy of investigation?

I would definitely look into it and push for a diagnosis. I have had fibromyalgia since I was 15 and all the things you're describing sound like symptoms. I'm no doctor but I think you should get it checked.

Sounds exactly like fibromyalgia. I "hear" I do NOT know for sure, but I think some doctors are not relying so much on the trigger points anymore. Definitely worth a doctor visit.
