Fibromyalgia - Have 16 Of The 18 Tender Points
Dec 5, 2014
I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I have 16 of the 18 tender points, I'm tired, I have headaches, my muscles and joints ache and, occasionally, my fingers and toes get tingly. Oh, and I'm cold all the time. The only actual test I had done was a blood test, which came back perfect. The problem is, my lymph nodes are sore. Not swollen, really, just sore. My doc told me it's from the fibro, but I'm not finding any info to support this online. Also, sometimes I wake up with a headache. Is this normal? I should add, my left side feels IDENTICAL to my right. The pain, lymph node soreness, etc...It's all perfectly symmetrical. Is this normal for fibro? I am 36 years old. I would really appreciate any advice from someone who actually HAS fibromyalgia. My friends/family think I must be dying with all these symptoms, and that fibro can't really cause so much discomfort. My doctor, who is generally on top of things, is certain it's fibromyalgia. He said the tender points are what really tipped it off for him. I should add...this is causing me a lot of anxiety which seems to be making the symptoms worse.

I failed the 3 hour glucose test by 3 points. The Dr wants me to see a specialist. Show I be concerned? I've only gone 24-25 lbs and I'm 30 weeks pregnant. My baby is measuring small and fluid levels are dropping. So I already go to the Dr's constantly to be monitored. I just feel overwhelmed. They gave me steroid shots and are talking about inducing me soon. I don't know what to think or do. Anyone have some advice?

I am recovering from foot surgery and am experiencing pain on bottom of foot/heel that is similar to plantar fasciitis. I have other pains related to the surgery that are improving, but this one is persistent. My PT suggested dry needling in trigger points, which is similar to acupuncture. I also have PTTD developing in my other foot, and she suggested it may also help with that.

For the past full week, I think I've been suffering from conjunctivitis. I was wondering how I can determine what type I have and if there's anything I can do/purchase for it.
- I had a feeling as if something was in my left eye for a couple of days, but this has finally gone!
- Both my left and right eyes seem to be a little tender and watery. They are a tiny bit sensitive to light but not by much at all. They are generally white but both with some blood shot areas.
- I have experienced no pain or loss of vision (Fingers Crossed!). I also have cold like symptoms such as a runny nose, varying temperture, watery eyes. But, I would say these are mild to minor. I've seen a small improvement since I got it a week a go and it's defintley got a tiny bit better. Should I give it another week before I see a doctor because it says to give it about two weeks to go away? Is it worth buying some eye drops from the pharmacist? And, what kind of conjunctivitis do I have?

So my girlfriend and I already had a miscarriage earlier and that was about a year ago.
She says she thinks she's pregnant, we did have unprotected sex, two weeks ago.
her last period was March 15th. She's never felt her boobs hurt or feel tender, it's been doing this for 5 days. She hasn't felt nausea or hungry, or lack of appetite. She hasn't been throwing up.
She has been drinking a lot of coffee and having anxiety about thinking she's pregnant. She hasn't missed a BC day since she started... which was about a year ago.

For the past 3 days now my clitoral region has been very itchy and tender. Yesterday it had dead skin peeling off when I wiped after urination. I always use condoms and my last pap, came out clean, and I've been with the same man 2 years now. There's no discharge, just itching and tenderness now, What could it be?

I just had my bartholin's cyst drained two days ago. I know it's healing there is no pain and the swelling has gotten smaller. But! Sometimes it hurts because it's kinda dry and tender and my skin is moving like it might be trying to go back to it original form. Is it normal that it hurts a lot when healing? I'm scared it might be because it's getting worst and not actually healing. Please help!

I have had this bump under my skin on my inner thigh for about 36 hours. It's more dark red/purple and tender to touch. It's also hard/more firm around it. It looks more like a pimple under the skin, but no whitehead or anything has appeared above the skin (at least not yet.) Other than that, I have no symptoms. It hasn't itched and I can't see any bite marks, not that there necessarily has to be any in order to be a bite.

I just wanted to know if your cervix changes feel or positions after intercourse.
I know the normal routine is low/firm after period, high/soft during fertile days, low/firm before period.
But my boyfriend and I had sex yesterday and today my . But if i touch it i can still feel it kind of firm beneath.
So i'm just wondering if intercouse can shift the positions after sex because im pretty sure i'm still a week early for my ovulation.

To start off, I've been on birth control for longer than a year now. And I am two weeks away from my period. So last week Saturday my boyfriend and I had protected and unprotected sex. Then Monday afternoon I realized my nipples were very tender and they hurt to squeeze or touch. Today is Friday and they still hurt. I do not have any other pregnancy symptoms. But I would just like to make sure im not pregnant. And what other cause is there? My boobs have been growing so is it possible my nipples are growing too?

I’ve noticed that my clitoris has become swollen the day after last time I had intercourse. I guess that I couldn’t get std because we used condom. I’ve not noticed to have vaginal discharge. The only symptom is swollen clitoris that is tender to touch. It is a bit itchy when urinate. What to do?

I've had a dull ache in my left testicle for 2 weeks. I seem to feel it more when I sit or lie down.
I've spoken to my GP who checked and confirmed both testicles seemed healthy. However there was a tenderness when he held the epididymis.
He took urine samples to check for any infection which all came back clear. I am now waiting for an ultrasound.

I am 31 years old and I had a tubal done two and a half years ago. I have been having symptoms of pregnancy...tender breasts, darkening areolas, mild cramps, frequent urination...you name it I'm experiencing them. I have two children 7 and soon to be 4. I spoke with my obgyn and was told to take a pregnancy test. It came back negative. Was told to take another one in 2 Weeks. Is it possible to be pregnant after having cauterization done and having an ovary removed? If it is so I'm ok with it, but I'm worried it may be ectopic.
