kelly how long have you had these symptoms for ? This is the critical question.
3years ever since my grandma past away
Many doctors dont even know about fibro and therefore are unable to diagnose it.
It took me a year to get confirmation despite seeing nurmerous health professionals. Lucky i went to see a very experienced doctor. If you have had these syptoms for 3 years which are consistent with fibro or CFS. Then your doctor will examine you for trigger points. Peple with fibro get pain in the joints above and below the waistline but it originates in the back and shoulder's. I am no doctor but if you have been experiencing this for 3 years some think is not right and your body cant shift it by its self another onset of fibro is a tragic event occuring in your life especially if you suffer from anxiety like myself which makes it all the more likely to happen as people with anxiety have a lower pain threshold.
Hope this helps. The problem is some doctors are not up to standard there few and far between on fibro and think its all in your head which is absurd !!
Find a respectable GP and your find your answer there. Well there is no answer to fibro but at least your no what you have. Good luck.
