COULD I BE SUFFERING FROM ANOTHER DISEASE?
Yes there are other medical problems that are confused
with Fibromyalgia, such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, thyroid disease,
myofacial pain syndrome, Lyme disease or other common (or not so
common) illnesses.
Even physicians can get confused when they're working
on a diagnosis. One good reason is that some of the same symptoms
can be part of many illnesses. For instance, one of your symptoms
may be extreme tiredness, even though you haven't been doing anything.
This is a possible symptom of a thyroid problem, Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome, Lyme disease and Fibromyalgia.
Be aware that trained physicians initially may diagnose
Fibromyalgia when, in reality, it is another problem, or the very
opposite could happen - sometimes a diagnosis of another medical
condition is given when its actually Fibromyalgia that you are suffering
from. Even harder to diagnose is the person who has Fibromyalgia
but also has one of the other conditions as well.
It is also possible, though far less common, to have
a medical problem called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Multiple
Chemical Sensitivities Syndrome, or Mononucleosis.
To be on the safe side, it is good to have a basic
understanding of these other diseases that are often confused with
Fibromyalgia, and then you will be better prepared when you meet
with your doctor.
Since your problem could be a medical condition other
than Fibromyalgia, it is always best to see a physician to get the
correct diagnosis. Most doctors are becoming more adept at distinguishing
between Fibromyalgia and another medical problem.
