Suggest Treatment For Intense Body Pain While Treating Fibromyalgia
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 8 years ago. Since my pain medication has been tapered, I am unable to work again and am in severe pain. I have seen a couple doctors and they didn t look at the sheets I had to fill out about my pain or let me explain how it is spreading. They didn t look at or touch my back. Why is it because of the fibromyalgia diagnoses, no one cares how much pain I m in or if I am able to function day to day or not? People with far less pain than I seem to get help much easier.

Hello,
Do a thyroid function test (TFT) and check whether her hormonal status is within the normal range or not. Both hyper and hypothyroidism can cause similar symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
