Question : I seem to have a lot of things occurring but not sure if they could be connected or not? I seem to always have pain/aches across my body, in my neck, back, legs, arms, feet, etc. I also suffer from chronic headaches and cluster headaches, and have photophobia which have been diagnosed. I also am tired most days, even after 8 hours of sleep. I seem to be having attention difficulties and memory issues. I have also been diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Could all of these symptoms have a common cause? Please help!

Brief Answer:
Fibromyalgia is a possibility.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

In my opinion, fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by widespread muscles pain, fatigue, memory, mood and concentration issues.

I suggest you to discuss with your Doctor about this condition as a possible diagnosis, and further diagnostic tests.

If fibromyalgia excluded, anxiety and depression remains the culprit.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Take care.
