So I have been thinking long and hard about this question...

How many of us anxiety sufferers ALSO HAVE Fibromyalgia? I would love to get as many responses as possible.

I’m waiting for my appointment to see the rheumatologist...

TIA!

Sylk,

Seems to be a pretty common comorbitity rate to me.

Also anxiety alongside costochondritis and gallbladder issues as well...

Of course we know the connection with thyroid and stomach/digestive issues and anxiety to be a physical one...but those others above are puzzing.

It will be interesting to hear what others have to say!

Hi

A lot of people who have Fibromyalgia also suffer with anxiety and depression so I think they are connected.

I took a gander at the fibromyalgia forum and was noticing that anxiety and depression was mentioned as well. I’m also looking forward to see how others respond.

Thanks S. C. and Hibee!!! Hugs!
