Fibromyalgia

Sassenach

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 9 years ago, after a long time of leg pain, whole body pain and exhaustion.  I have read that fibro is often experienced by those on the spectrum as it is a heightened sensitivity to pain. Has anyone else here experienced the symptoms or been diagnosed? I think I manage my fibro symptoms quite well, but some days I feel like I have been hit by a truck. How much of this is also as a result of burnout, I'm not sure.

  • Hi,

    I too have fibromyalgia aswel as asd.

    I find it extremely hard having the 2 conditions together.

    What do u do to make ur fibro better? I currently have started a plant based diet & detox to see if it helps. 

    I read up on it from a website someone recommended on here & it makes alot of sense. Its Dr Myhill

    Hi there, I hope you start the gain the benefits of a plant based diet soon. I have been vegetarian for about 6 years, Maybe the general pain is less than it was, but it doesn't stop the horrible flare ups. Thanks for the name of the Dr, I will look it up
