Howdy Shelly!
I'm sorry you are having so many problems. I sure can understand what you are going through. I have had Cushing's Syndrome for over 30 years, and have all of the conditions that is caused by Cushing's, except for Diabetes. I also have had several accidents, that have caused a lot of injuries, so I also deal with a great amount of pain.

Do you have a good Rheumatologist? If not, please find one. The rib pain MAY be from Costochondritis. I have that, and the way the doctor explained it to me is: Costochondritis is where the muscles/tissues between the ribs are swollen and/or inflammed, and that causes the pain in the ribs.

From what you said, your Fibromyalgia is probably flared severely, from the sounds of your pain level. Do you hurt so bad, that even the pressure of shower water, hitting your head and body, hurts? I sure can understand! If you want to, drop me a note, and if you want, I will call you and help you any way I can.

You're in my prayers.

Love and Hugs,
Lori
