What Causes Osteoporosis And Fatigue When Diagnosed With Fibromyalgia?

default
Posted on Mon, 28 Sep 2015
Question: I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Soon afterwards I also found out my osteopenia had progressed to osteoporosis. I am now 58 yo. I have had tow zometa infusions over a period of a year. Once a year. In the meantime my fibro has worsened. Severe body and bone aches and muscle spasms. Could zometa be causing these symptoms to have worsened and if so will they resolve over time if I don't have another infusion. I have tested negative for rheumatoid, lupus, lyme, etc. my bone pain is in my ankles, knees, hips, low back and neck. I also have a great deal of fatigue. I work full time and sleep pretty much all day my first day off
