Granny's gone and done it again

rains killing me today. What did you figure out?
I've decided that it's my fibro. I've ignored the obvious long enough. I so wanted this to be a fixable thing. Not going to happen. I reread the fibro symptoms. Boy, a lot of what I'm going through is right there, including the dizzy. Plus, my son and his wife had a little get together with Austin's high school friends. They haven't seen each other in years. One of the girls has fibro. She's walking with a cane, because she experiences dizzy. She's having a hard time. This last visit to a Nephrologist was my last ditch effort. I'm just realizing how blessed I've been that it's been slow moving per say. To think that Austin's friend, only approaching 30, has it this bad. I'll just do what I can when I can. Count the blessings that I certainly do still have! Some days are better than others..still. That's a blessing in itself.
 
You dont know me well so let me say this with the very most concern Cynthia. It sounds like your giving up hope on a fix or cure. I hope you continue to look for answers. My dd was diagnosed with fibro too and extra vit.D help he symptoms a ton. Enough for her to think she didnt have it. Have you been tested?

I take vitamin D. Yes, I was tested years ago. Didn't know what to think about it at first, but it made sense after a while. It's just that things calmed down a bit. I went on my way without too much going on. When something popped up, I thought, oh it's my fibro. Then it calmed down.. except my migraines. They went on for years. Thank heavens those are under control. I also take ferricon. It's a B12/iron capsule. I used to have to get iron shots because it got so low. But with these pills, it's under control. I ignored the fact that these symptoms going on now are the fibro. I've had a couple of the specialists say they think it's my fibro. I've been to... Two Neurologist's, two different ENT'S, A Nephrologist, an Endocrinologist, a gastroenterologist, had numerous different tests done..all within this past year. The years before, off and on, I did the same thing. Different Drs. I've had MRI'S, x-ray's. Blood work At least I know I need to take potassium now. This Nephrologist the other day was looking at my labs from way back. Says I've been having problems with low potassium for over a decade! I didn't remember that, but said a lab report said my potassium was low in 2002.
