This contribution to help you cope with fibromyalgia was written by Jodie Henslee
Most of us know about the emotional symptoms of depression. But you may not know that depression can be associated with many physical symptoms, too.
Many people with depression suffer from 1, chronic pain or other physical symptoms and even headaches.
These are common in people with depression. If you already had migraine headaches, they may seem worse if you are depressed.
Muscle aches and joint pain. Depression can make any kind of chronic pain worse. Chest pain. Obviously, it is very important to get chest pain checked out by an expert right away. It can be a sign of serious heart problems. However, depression can contribute to the discomfort associated with chest pain.
Digestive problems. You might feel queasy or nauseous. You might have diarrhea or become chronically constipated. Exhaustion and fatigue. No matter how:4 er much you sleep, you may still feel tired or worn out.
Getting out of the bed in the morning may seem very hard, even impossible. Sleeping problems. Many people with depression cannot sleep well anymore. They wake up too early or cannot fall asleep when they go to bed. Others sleep much more than normal.
Change in appetite or weight. Some people with depression lose their appetite and lose weight. Others find they crave certain foods — like carbohydrates — and weigh more. Dizziness or lightheadedness. Because these symptoms occur with many conditions, many depressed people never get help, because they do not know that their physical symptoms might be caused by depression.
Many doctors miss the symptoms, too. These physical symptoms are not all in your head.” Depression can cause real changes in your body. For example, it can slow down your digestion, which can result in stomach problems.
Depression seems to be related to an imbalance of certain chemicals in your brain. Some of these same chemicals play all important role in how you feel pain. So many experts think that depression can make you feel pain differently than other people.
We do need to remember though, that depression can also come from pain. When we are in pain, we can become + depressed.
Finding out what came first helps in determining specific issues. It makes me think of the lot, “what came first, the chicken or the egg?”.

I am so fortunate to have discovered the Fibromyalgia Digest site, it has been a wealth on information for me. I have struugled for quite some time on when to stop working and apply for disability and it has been a tough choice. I have tried so hard to keep working but I have ran into problems consistently since 2007. On June 3rd I left my job with the decision I had been through enough and I was going to seek for disability. I have not filed yet ….reading the Digest has helped me in many ways and now today I have found this blog and it will add to my search of info and support. Thank you so much for all that the digest does …..it has truly been a God send.
