Hi,

I am new member as of yesterday – I would like to thank all of the creators and members of this site for providing people with an avenue for answers. I have not been formally diagnosed with BFS or anything for that matter. I have seen several doctors, chiropracters and physical therapists and they all have a different opinion on what ails me. The closest I have gotten to a diagnosis is my GP stating that I "may have fibromyalgia or some other type of syndrome".

I have spent some time looking through the various forums and from what I have read I share similar experiences to most of you when it comes to symptoms. I have had a few symptoms that I have not seen mentioned on here. Can anyone tell me if they have experienced anything similar to these throughout their journey:

* night sweats
* extremely tight hamstrings
* chills or becoming chilled much easier than before BFS
* tightness in throat and subsequent pain around collarbone

Thanks again

Chris: I can relate to the last 3 of your symptoms. My leg muscle tightness is bad enough just walking, but If I exercise even a little it increases to being quite bothersome. I also have some minor GERD confirmed by endoscopy which can cause throat tightness/eshophagul pain and spasms, along with collar bone pain. Pain on the collarbone is also perhaps an indication of Fibromyalgia, I believe If you have GERD a trial of Prilosec should knock it out or even adding some fresh Ginger to the diet. I also get the Chills along with cold hands and feet. You are in good company around these parts.

Welcome,

J
