zaks27 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hello! I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 15 years ago. It's really hard to tell what symptoms are what. I also have rheumatoid arthritis, and degenerative disc disease. All the symptoms are very simular. All I can do is look back at what symptoms appeared right before (and leading to) the diagnosis of POTS last summer. Orthostatic hypotension and the dizzyness/vertigo/syncope aren't usually found with fibro. I still don't know when I'm having a RA flare or a fibro flare anymore... Seems I'm ALWAYS exhausted now--flare or no flare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songcanary Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 It is my understanding that fibro is a type of dysautonomia. I have had fibro symptoms my whole life but did not get diagnosed till 1994. I did not have orthostatic problems until 2007. Even though I am on thyroid and fibro meds, I still have stiffness and fatigue and other diffuse symptoms that can't always be explained. I just chalk them all up to dys at this point.
