Phoenix, have you been tested for Sjogrens? It shares a lot of common symptoms with fibromyalgia, lupus, hypothyroidism, and many other autoimmune issues. Someone on this site mentioned it to me and when I researched it I realized my symptoms really did for. My doc ordered a lip/buccal biopsy and it came back positive.
Before the my avg daily pain was staying 7-8 and sometimes higher. Once I was put on Plaquenil for the sjogrens my daily pain avg dropped to 3-4. I was amazed at the difference. I still have bad days, and am actually in a flare now, but before it was dx I kept telling my doctors "something else is wrong because o just feel awful all the time; no energy, constant pain, constant sleeplessness, etc.". Check into it, or any other issue that might be coexisting. ππΌππ·
