Whats wrong with my mother?
My moms doctor said she has fibromyalgia, but we dont believe that. She has way to many symptoms of different kinds to be that. It’s scaring us as to what is actually wrong with her. She is afraid she is going to die because of what is wrong with her. The doctors here wont do anything to try to actually figure out what it is..So if there are any doctors on here or even just someone that knows what im talking about please help us..

She could have several medical conditions causing these symtpoms. She might very well have Fibromyalgia, as it can be caused by other conditions. Same thing with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Usually people who develop Fibromyalgia also develop the chronic fatigue along with some sort of Immune system disease, like Lupus. Has she seen a Rheumatologist? I would advise her to do so. Also, she could even have something like Multiple Sclerosis. Has she had an MRI or other testing? Obviously she has more going on here than just one simple diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. Seek out a Rheumatologist, Neurologist, and a new regular family doctor if possible. Or go back to that same doc and request/demand to be referred to the specialists I mentioned. Don’t give up and don’t let them jerk you around.
