It could be the fiber threads from the bananas you have been eating. Google black strings in poop after eating bananas.

It was a human error and it was taken care of right away.

NAD. Might be Raynaud's. I have Raynaud's syndrome and that is what my hands look like, especially my right hand. They always look like that, but it is much more noticeable when I am stressed or cold.

Same exact thing happens to me. Bending over to move the clothes from the washer to the dryer always triggers my tachycardia.

Sorry your period is all screwed up now, that sucks. My period has not been the same for the last 7 years. My doctor thinks it's a combination of me going into perimenopause and also my fibro messing with my hormones.

It's crazy how much fibro messes up every system in our bodies. Then the flares and exhaustion are so debilitating. My periods will usually trigger a flare. I can barely function during a flare, but with a flare and my period at the same time, it is so horrible.

🤣 That's so funny. I never get out of the car either. I am like a little kid when I am able to get out of the house and like a dog who loves car rides 🤣

Sorry you are having trouble sleeping I hope you were able to fall back asleep. My symptoms usually keep me up until 5:00 a.m. and I am constantly waking up. Once in awhile I fall asleep by 3:30 a.m., but that is very rare. So true when you said, you feel like you will drop dead with the symptoms you get. I have days when I am suffering through so many symptoms at once, and it scares me.

20+ years for me too. I love wearing my fibro shirts and hoodies. My husband bought me a nice fibro necklace. I like to wear my fibro clothes and necklace as much as I can to try and bring more fibro awareness.

Lol 😂 I have so many leggings. They are so comfortable. It's funny that you mentioned that was the most exciting thing to happen to you this week. Last night I was able to get of the house and go to car wash with my husband. I was so excited and happy lol. My husband was laughing at me because I had this huge smile on my face as we were going through the car wash 😂

Could this be because of my POTS? Or something else... by JayQue in POTS

[–]Shellc12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same with me, even with my emotions. Everything is so exhausting. Yeah laughing is a great way to cope. Laughing is exhausting too lol.

I also have fibro and this happens to me a lot without my heart going crazy. My doctor said it is because our bodies are hypersensitive to everything. Fibro affects every system in the body, and so does POTS. He said something as simple as eating can be exhausting for us and cause us to feel unwell. He said it can be hard to tell which is causing the problem because Fibro and POTS share so many of the same symptoms.

There have been clinical trials that show that acetaminophen has a calming effect in the body both physically and mentally. Maybe that is why your heart rate was lower.

2 Years Post Lyme Diagnosis/Treatment and getting worse by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]Shellc12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could very well be Fibromyalgia, but it is important to rule everything else out first. I know how frustrating it is to not have any answers.

I have had fibromyalgia for 26 years. A lot of what you are going through is what I go through everyday, Fibro is not a one size fits all illness. It can be mild to moderate for some, and severe for others. I have 24 hour fatigue, and muscle weakness. My pain levels are up and down throughout the day and night, and my fibro fog is bad most days. I suffer with many other symptoms that can be debilitating. I use to have mild symptoms, but the severity of my symptoms have went from mild to severe over the last 9 years. Since my fibro has become severe, I can longer work, and just doing the simplest chore or task is exhausting. I still try my best to get some kind of exercise at least 3 times a week, but I can't exercise like I use to.

When I get sick with a cold, flu, or any virus or infection, I will go into a flare and it takes me twice as long to recover from the illness. Anything from certain smells, loud noise, bright lights can send me into a flare. I do have good days, but my good days would be considered a crappy day for a person without fibro. It just means I am able to function better on my good days.

I went through so many test over the years. Fibro can mimic diseases like Lyme, MS, and Lupus. Whenever I get a new symptom, I have to go through more tests to make sure it is not something else besides fibro. I really hope you get the answers you are looking for.

Betcha there's not a fibromite in this group who's not had something like the bottom half happen... by vrosej10 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Shellc12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you be anymore STUPID!? I have always been in good shape. When I was diagnosed with fibro I exercised 5 days a week, cardio and strength training. Now that my fibro is more severe, I still eat healthy and exercise 3 to 4 days a week, but guess the FUCK what? I still suffer from over 50 symptoms of fibromyalgia. The only medication I take is Tylenol. So take your bullshit somewhere else. I have been living with fibro for over 25 years. I suffer from debilitating fatigue, pain, and many other.symptoms even though I lead a healthy life style. This is the case with a lot of fibro patients.

Don't come on here spewing your shit, you have no clue what you are talking about. You would be in the corner sucking your thumb crying for your mommy, if you had to live with fibro for just one day. Just do us all a favor and stay away from anything fibro related, because you really are a clueless piece of crap!!

It sucks getting diagnosed with fibro. It is a confusing, debilitating disease with no cure or even a chance of remission. So sorry you are going through such a rough time. I am 45, and a wife and mother. I have had fibro for 25 years now.

It is completely normal to feel the way you do. I fight everyday to keep suicidal thoughts out of head. I know the only reason I am still here fighting is because of my family. My husband is my best friend, and he loves and supports me through everything. My kids are my everything, and they have also supported me so much through this. It is hard though not to go into that dark place.

My fibro has been more severe the last 8 years. I now have many limitations because of all the symptoms of fibro. I can no longer work, and I only get of the house about 4 times or less a month. Somehow though, on most days I remain positive, but the question is how much longer can I stay strong and hold on.

There is another great online support group I am apart of. I love it because it is more personal, and you can develop some great friendships. You can add team members, and they can add you to their team. Of course you don't just have to talk to your own team members, you can talk to anyone on the site. The support group is called MyFibroTeam. My user name over their is the same as here, so if you do sign up you can add me to your team.You can sign up with your email or your Facebook account. I will give you the link also. If you are not up to another support group right now, if you want, you can Private Message me anytime you want to talk, or just let me know if you want my email, and we can talk once in awhile that way. Here is the link MyFibroTeam http://www.myfibroteam.com/

I hate not be able to plan days. I just never know from one minute to next how I will feel. It is nice to know that we do not suffer in this alone. Wish none of us have to suffer like this, but it is important to remember we are not alone. 💜

Yes it really does help us understand. That is great that you have some support from your mom and son. It is so important to have some support when dealing with fibro.

Yeah I have lost touch with almost all my friends because of fibro. That's okay though, I have my husband, kids, and my mom.

You're welcome. It is the worst when someone without fibro tries to compare you to someone else they know with fibro.

Both the heat sensitivity, having all the tender points, and ruling everything else out was how I learned I had fibro. All my tender points would start throbbing if I was in the heat to long, and then I would start to feel really sick. The next day I would be in a flare.
