My doctor thinks that I might have Fibromyalgia and not Cushings after all. What are the symptoms of that?
• Widespread pain and muscle stiffness, especially on waking • Feeling of swollen extremities • Nonrestorative sleep; waking feeling unrefreshed or more tired than before sleep • Irritable bladder syndrome, characterized by frequent and/or painful urination and low abdominal discomfort in the absence of infection • Irritable bowel syndrome, characterized by painless diarrhea, constipation, bloating or hypersensitivity • Numbness or tingling in arms or legs • Chest pain that is not cardiac-related, such as pain in the cartilage or muscles • Dry eyes and mouth • Cognitive problems, such as difficulty concentrating or remembering See the Checklist of Symptoms to compare how these Fibromyalgia symptoms relate to Cushing’s and other diseases. Note: All of these symptoms can be indicative of other problems, so it is important to consult with your doctor and avoid self-diagnosis.
