Alot of night sweats, night "jumps" (muscle twitching) and daytime fatigue. I get soreness and pain in my shoulder blades & in the muscles down my arms (bicep) and legs (thighs). Theres pressure up my spine to the base of my skull and causes migraines.
I get sudden bouts of nausea, and have severe brain fog/ confusion. Recurring conjunctivitis, swollen ears & dry vee-jay skin.
( The dr had me checked for thyroid, pheochromocytoma & wpw disease, standard CBC test- all negative.)
24 yr fem. Symptoms started when I was 19.

1it sounds like something else-
you need a full screening for the ‘pressure up my spine to the base of my skull’
conjuctiveitis, swollen ears are not fibro
have you been to a neurologist
one thing that comes to mind is chiari malformation-
if those are the only things you have been checked for–you need a new doc-
be careful–too many docs will just do a few tests and declare it fibro-even when it doesn’t really fit.

2Some of the symptoms sound like they could be related to fibromyalgia. I would recommend a consultation with a rheumatologist (a doctor that diagnoses and treats diseases and disorders that relate to the joints and such such as RA and Fibromyalgia) as well to see what they think could be going on.
