Is this Fibro?

I posted this in the depression forum, but someone suggested this forum. Seven months ago I was in incredible shape. 45-year-old white male. Hurt myself in weight room (epigastric region ... not sure to this day what I did). However, it sent me into a health anxiety tailspin despite the tests showing nothing wrong (except endo showing acid reflux). Here are my symptoms.

1. Weight loss of about 15 pounds (most of it in first two months). Diet did change bc of reflux. I put about 5-6 back on but having trouble adding more.
2. Insomnia. For months now I've had trouble getting good quality sleep. I go to sleep fine but then wake up and have trouble going back to sleep. My mind starts racing.
3. Bowel changes ... i've gone from a 3 times a week guy to an every day (sometimes twice a day guy). No blood and very little diaharea. This started from day one in April.
4. Some saliva decrease/mouth discomfort. I don't have true dry mouth based on what i've read of other people. However, no doubt my mouth is drier. (NOTE: I've had ANA and sjogrens test and both were negative. I had sed rate and C-reactive blood tests done numerous times and i have like ZERO inflammation in my body).
5. tingling/crawling feels in my body as well as some twitching. Now the twitching occured at the HEIGHT of my anxiety about 5-6 weeks ago. The twitching subsided after a few days AFTER i saw neurologist and he calmed my nerves. Had a nerve conduction test done on both arms and hands and everything was fine. The tingling also started at the height of the anxiety and has for the most part gotten a lot better. I did take one Neurotin the other night when the crawling feeling was bad. That was four days ago and I haven't taken another one. And the crawling feeling hasn't returned.
6. Had MRI on my cervical spine that showed two small bulging disks. Neurologist said neither one is bad at all but that could cause some nerve issues. REcommended PT.
7. Soreness around both knees that comes and goes. Also some soreness in left hip that I've never had before. Some days don't have it. Some days I do.
8. I have deficient in Vitamin B-12 (as well as B2, B9, zinc). Got my first B-12 shot Friday and it helped.
9. I can only see out of my right eye (lost left one in an accident as age 6). I had to get glasses about nine months ago due to my vision not being perfect for first time ever. The eye feels tired a lot these days (probably from lack of sleep). However, it has become blood shot and sensitive to light at times. Now I work on a computer a ton and so I'm not surprised between lack of sleep and computer use, it's become tired.
10. I started seeing a psychiatrist about 3 weeks ago. I took some tests. Diagnosed with severe depression and OCD. I am depressed due to feeling so bad for last few months and not knowing what the heck was going on. I am normally a very happy person who loves their job and their life. I have been prescribed Effexor which I'm supposed to start tomorrow.
11. Fatigue. Exhaustion. Again. I haven't slept well for months. And I've been fixated on WHAT IS WRONG. health anxiety.
12. I've had my blood pressure taken I bet 50 times in last seven months (maybe more). It's been perfect every time. And I haven't had fever one single time. I haven't been sick one single time. My immune system seems to be running very well.

Anyway, not one doctor I've seen has mentioned fibromyalgia as a possibility. I haven't seen a rheumatologist fyi. My doctors think this is depression/stress/anxiety driven and I know they could be right.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Sherrie. I appreciate you taking the time to read my post and respond. It's really difficult for me to figure out these days. I've had a lot of tests and only conclusive things are severe depression, OCD, mild sleep apnea, bulging disks in neck, restless leg syndrome, vitamin deficiencies and some acid reflux.

This combination could lead to so many of my symptoms I believe. Tests have ruled out autoimmune (at least inflammatory ones, which are 99 percent of them) and major nerve issues like ALS. I have an appointment to see a rheumatologist that does treat fibro ... it's not until Dec. 16.

I'm 50-50 on what I think is going on ...

I'm sorry to have to say, Welcome Malcolm. I've had fibro for over 40 years, since Vietnam days, but never knew what it was until a younger VA nurse practitioner had me diagnosed. All I can say, is echo what Sherrie said. And, I have indeed found some docs who just dismiss it. Just last week, I had a heart stress test done at VA, and the main doctor who is a bit older, totally dismissed fibromyalgia! When I said I had it, his response was, "That's what we throw in the trash can." He was training 3 younger docs who were all interested in what I had to say. Hang in man!

Fibro definitely causes all those symptoms, but its doubtful that your Rheumatologist will order a Lyme test. Even if they do it's a two step process and the first test only finds about 10% of people who are later determined to have Lyme. It should be more like 90%.

Insurance won't pay for the second more sensitive test unless the first is positive. There is a better test but you need to pay out of pocket. It's done by Igenex. More info especially symptoms can be found in the Lyme Forum under the "New to Lyme?" thread (always at the top).

Sherrine, i'm not trying to hijack your forum. I am a person who has had symptoms for 35+ years with a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia 15 years ago. Just got a positive test for Lyme and 4 co-infections. It's nice to have something to fight. I hate to see anyone continue chasing a diagnosis that has no etiology when it could be something that you can test for. When i received my diagnosis, fiber was the current day Lyme. No one believed it was real.
