Also gut issues All my life, was diagnosed with IBS about 15 years ago, so did the IBS diet and for 13 years and my gut and other symptoms (many over lap with fibro by the way). Well it got so embarrassingly bad 2 years ago a Gastro doc Finally did the upper and lower scopes and biopsy and lo and behold had Celiac all my life, NOT IBS. The IBS diet was killing me. The damage to my nervous system, due to malnutrition for 60 years has been done. So I now have a very very very limited and expensive must do gluten free diet, for past 2 years. Fibro LIVES on......only my gut issues are a little better. Also ladies of all ages, I had horrific periods from day one, back in the day they didn't know about endometriosis which I strongly believe is a Fibro thing (Fibroids!!!) So, having many food allergies, in addition to Calic disease and fibro the only safe thing is water lol. and thats even questionable. I am sorry for sounding negative but I have been misdiagnosed so many times and had so many unnecessary surgeries that I try to let go of the anger and a lifetime of pain and hardship while working very stressful jobs till last year when I just said "I can't do" for the first time in my life. Trust your own knowledge and feelings about YOUR body and Your mind, and remember that doctors are just "practicing" medicine. God bless you all, stay strong in Spirit, whatever that means to you, and find joy, let joy find you every day. Gonna go get a glass of water now lol, fibrofranView Thread

See a good gyno and I bet you have endometriosis, it was the DEVIL for me, one week out of every month my body was a torture chamber, nothing helped, I tried it all. Finally got a partial hysterectomy at 40 and felt way better than my whole life. I have to deal with menopause but thats a walk in the park compared to the periods from hell. Good luck, get good help, chip away at the symptoms of fibro one at a time and life will turn around for you.
