*About the Vitamin D deficiency. It can have the same symptoms as Fibro, and can be cured! If you haven't had a blood test to check your vitamin D level, ask for one!
*In addition to Fibro, I have been diagnosed with Lyme, Adrenal Insufficiency, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, Hypothalamic/Pituitary dysfunction, Epstein Barr Virus, Immune deficiency, Low vitamin D3 and B12 levels, as well as low serotonin, cortisol, hypothyroid, migraines of unknown origin, low oestrogen/progesterone.

*Hypermobility Syndrome and Endometriosis
*I was diagnosed with endometriosis 8 years ago and still suffer some of the symptoms. From what I can gather, around 45% of endo sufferers go on to develop fibromyalgia and/or CFS, as well as a larger percentage going on to develop rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid problems and lupus.
*One 'specialist' I saw said he thinks they are all under the umbrella of immune disorders and one day the medical community will figure it out! heres hoping!
*Hi all as well as the fibro I have had endometriosis for years, pcos, IBS, have a problem with my shoulder joints but cant remember name. I also have restless legs, depression, pania attacks, can't leave the house without support, severe headaches although can't get dr to agree they are not simply from my meds as I had them before I started meds. Currently awaiting a 2nd opinion on things but i don't suppose he'll be able to do much but if he comes up with anything really helpful I'll let you all know x
*FMS, PCOS, eczema, used to have gallstones and a seriously angry gallblader but now have a dodgy liver, depression and sleep problems. And I'm developing allergy after allergy.
*I also have discoid lupus.I has a back fusion a year ago.And during surgery my dura ripped leaving me with nerve damage and brutal back pain.
*I am not too sure where the Fibro ends and another disease starts to be honest. I have chronic pain, chronic fatigue, my knees and elbows are in pain 99% of the time. My knees are always cold even when it is warm out! My eyes have been drying out, I need to put drops 2 to 4 times a day, in the morning I have to place a hot towel to my eyes. IBS. rashs, my skin is ultra sensitive now. I use the patch for pain, that is surely hard on my skin (the adhesive).
*reehl fatigue syndrome, ibs, migraines,degenerative disc disease
*I forgot about Gerd, and depression and possibly ptsd according to my psychiatries!
*Arthritis, high bp.
*Bipolar..... :)
Is there some sort of pattern emerging here??

Dual Diagnosis
Many of us have 'dual diagnosis' - ie we've been told we have Fibromyalgia and something else too. If you have a dual diagnosis, what other conditions do you have in addition to Fibromyalgia?
