[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 390685"] I am going to say Fibro as well, possibly with a co-morbidity of myofascal pain syndrome IF there is a specific symptom that Jena may have. In MPS around the fascal (not facial) sheathing around the joints you will find pea sized "bumps" this is the damage done by the immune system attacking the fascal sheathing, leaving scar tissue that presents in these "bump like" nodules around joints and thinly skinned areas. Not all MPS patients get this symptom right away though. I have fibro and MPS (also referred to as myofascal syndrome). These two syndromes are of themselves separate illnesses however have a high co-morbidity rate. CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) is another co-morbid syndrome with high co-morbidity rates with Fibro & MPS as well. Lyme disease should be absolutely ruled out along with thyroid issues and RA, all three mimic FMS (fibro) CFS and MPS and vice versa. Osteoperosis also mimics the above and should be ruled out with an isotope radioactive bone scan. Some cardiac conditions can mimic all of the symptoms Jena described as well so cardiac health should be checked as well. Restless Leg Syndrome (what Jena described with her leg issues at night) has a high co-morbid rate with FMS/MPS/CFS too! Mirapex can treat all 4 syndromes (nuerotins, b2 blockers and pregabalin, gabapentins are all used for FMS. MPS, CFS & Restless Leg Syndrome equally, some are off label use however). [/QUOTE]
