Books on Fibromyalgia

Good day everyone,

I just purchased (online) 2 books on Fibromyalgia. One is The Complete Idiot's Guide to Fibromyalgia and the other is Fibromyalgia for Dummies. When I receive them I will read them through and share with you some tips etc. I gain from the books.

Ever since I knew I had Fibromyalgia I have been reading all I can about the chronic muscle disorder. One thing I found out is that the pain I have sometimes in my chest is Fibromyalgia related. I thought maybe I was going to have heart problems, but since Fibromyalgia affects your muscles, and your heart is the biggest one, it occurred to me, WOW, I never thought of that.

A couple of years ago I did have a stress test at the hospital because I was going in for shoulder surgery and my doctor knew of my occasional chest pains. They said my heart was fine and I was relieved. Although I am a little scared because what if I really do have a start of a heart attack and I just think it is Fibromyalgia pain? How would I know the difference? Apparently some people do not know.

My thought is, if you are experiencing pain in the chest that frightens you, go to the hospital. It is better to be safe than sorry, right?

I hope you are having a wonderful week and I will talk to you soon. I have to go do some housework. I just look at it and think "This is going to hurt me real bad tomorrow and probably the next day too"!!

Take care!
Hugs,
Nancy
