Pain causes stress and stress elevates the blood sugar so yes it can.

hi there ,, this is what i could bring to u about fibromyalgia ,,,,, hope it's useful \n\nFibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that causes widespread pain and tenderness in the muscles and soft tissue ,,,\n\nsymptoms of fibromyalgia :\n\nMost people with fibromyalgia endure cycles of muscle, soft tissue, and back or neck pain, \nsleep problems, and \noften debilitating fatigue. \nFibromyalgia is also characterized by the presence of up to 18 specific tender points on the body—these are painful only when you press directly on them.\n\nAlthough less common than pain, fatigue, and sleep problems, a variety of other symptoms may occur as well. These include headaches, morning stiffness, difficulty concentrating, a circulatory problem that affects the small blood vessels of the skin (Raynaud's phenomenon), and irritable bowel syndrome. As with many conditions that cause chronic pain, anxiety and depression are common in people with fibromyalgia and may make symptoms worse.\n\nSymptoms tend to come and go. Periods when they are constant (flares) may be followed by periods when they are absent (remissions). Some people find that cold, damp weather, emotional stress, overexertion, and other factors make their symptoms worse

There are many.  In uncontrolled diabetes, classically seen are increased frequency of urination leading to dry mouth and excessive thirst.  Other nonspecific symptoms can occur including fatigue, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, vision changes, and numbness and tingling of the hands and feet.  All of these can be seen regardless of age, however usually diabetes at an older onset will manifest more gradually.

two separate diseases\n\ndiabetic neuropathy also causes no feeling at all.  or hot burning sensations in the feet and other parts of the body.  the main reason diabetics are told to keep their shoes on in the house as well as outside is because a diabetic can step on glass or other sharp objects and never feel it.  by the time they realize they have been hurt, it is not pretty.  many people have lost their feet as a result.  and who wants to be an amputee?  not me.  i get yelled at constantly for not wearing shoes in my house.  and believe me i have stepped on slivers of glass when i never knew there was any.  so what i am being told, to wear my shoes, is correct. i just don't always do it.  and i have been diabetic for 25 years so i know neuropathy.  i have it in my gut as well.  so i have a lot of digestive issues. in my hands...and it can cause immediate carpal tunnel syndrome.  yes, over night.  i was shocked that i was diagnosed with carpal tunnel while in the hospital for something else. the neurosurgeon said it is common for diabetes to develop it with no warning because of neuropathy.\n\nrestless leg syndrome is a sleep disorder.  and many times that person has sleep apnea. i don't know if they are connected but my husband has the rls and kicks the hell out of me and the bed when he is having a bad night.  thank goodness i have a guest room.....

I was diagnosed with it when I was in my 20's...over 20yrs ago!  It is a relatively new diagnosis and doctors are just now beginning to understand just how debilitating it can be... make sure you trust your doctor as it is not an easy diagnosis to make and there are alot of other illnesses out there that have symptoms very similar to fibromyalgia!  My sister swears by herbs to help hers.... I swear by pain meds and rest.... guess it all just depends on a persons point of view and just how bad a day that person is having!

Yes and no... \n\nDiabetes, when left untreated for an extended period of time, can be a "killer" disease. Untreated elevated blood sugar levels have harmful effects on your eyes, nervous system, kidneys, and practically every other major organ system in your body. \n\nBUT... the good news ... \n\nDiabetes is also a very controllable disease. With proper medication, diet, exercise, you can live for many, many years with the condition. Sometimes complications are inevitable, but so it is with every chronic illness out there. \nRemember to eat well, exercise, and take your medications as prescribed. Work with your doctor on coming up with a individualized treatment plan for your specific needs.

Yes it can lead into diabetes if you are not careful, if your blood suger gets low use glucose tabs, peanut butter, eggs, or juice to level it out, but never sugary candy, watch your candy intake, I too have this problem

Dear,visit a real good specialist,a neurologist.to say accurately is it CFS and fibromyalgia or depression.I am inclined to think that if you not present the symptoms of depression it is more likely you not to suffer from it..and there's so sure solution and also harmless..for CFS is reqiered to be treated simply with the addition of arginine aspartame,so try it..Sargenor is one product which contains it and you can buy it without prescription and has no side effects..Unfortunately,too many specialist don't pay the needed attention and are inclined to superficial answers like too much stress,just a case of depression etc.I really suggest you to try(again I repeat Aspartame is totally free and taken even without a prescription will not harm you)..Sagenor..I suffered from CFS and that helped me within 10 days.I also suffered from depresson and can tell there's a great difference between them!! Good luck and if you need more info or whatever I'll be glad to answer you!!

There is getting to be more evidence that chemical imbalances, especially trace mineral deficiencies, may be a cause for SOME fibromyalgia.  This is because treating the symptoms by using balanced mixtures of nutritional minerals seems to help the symptoms in many people.  \n\nYou can look on pubmed (just use yahoo to search for pubmed, it is run by the National Institute of Health) for "minerals fibromyalgia" and you will find several studies.\n\nI know people with fibromyalgia who have reported great success with a particular vitamin and mineral supplement.  If you are interested, email me (jstmother) at yahoo and I will point you at how to get it.

Nerve damage, a.k.a. neuropathy, is a side effect of diabetes. While most people with the condition exhibit symptoms in their extremities (feet, hands, face, etc.), I would assume that is possible to have to condition in your thigh area. However, I would not play around with the condition you are experiencing. Call your doctor ASAP and get this checked out. You could have a blood clot or a serious circulatory issue going on that needs immediate attention. Call today! \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

Yes, I sometimes have pain as you described and I have Fibromyalgia. Let's face it, Fibromyalgia is a real PAIN! I have had it for 30 plus years. I am sorry you are experiencing it. Worry and Stress does not help us so try to calm down, okay? I don't think there is a place on my body that hasn't had pain. I would like to ask you if you have a lot of trouble sleeping with your pain and if you are always tired?  Let me know, Okay? Best of luck!

I agree the first answer that prayer would really help.  sounds pretty bad.  It seems diabetes always complicates any situation.

Please see the webpages for more details on Diabetic neuropathy. Control your blood sugar below 126 mg/dL strictly by diet (free of sugar, fat and oils) and take morning-walk exercise regularly. If so, your knee pain will fade away. Still the problem exists consult your doctor.
