Muscle twitching has been almost non-existant for a year, except for a slight, transient one in my left thumb and finger, and last night some light twitching in left thigh muscle.
That's awesome. Normal people twitch that much. That's no big deal.
I have had FM like symptoms ever since I had a trigger point massage a few weeks ago
Ah... what did the massage therapist say to expect. I know I have had physical therapy before and when they found some trigger points they told me they can hurt for a long time especially if they keep messing with them past the point of being therapeutic. You should go back to the massage therapist and ask him/her if what you are experiencing is normal from the treatment. Maybe a few more treatments would actually make the the pain better.
I get random pain also, maybe not to the extent of feeling like I got hit with a bat all over, but there have been times I felt like someone punched me in the face or in the arm or side etc.
If your rheumy looked at you like you were crazy, not a big deal. Fibromyalgia is controversial and mostly effects females. She probably has not seen that many athletic men in her office. I know to be diagnosed by a rhematologist you have to meet the criteria:
http://www.rheumatology.org/Practice/Cl ... -_Excerpt/Other than that I think its a guessing game by other doctors. There are no lab tests for it.
You can have pain without having fibromyalgia. Pain is general. Other things can cause it. fibromyalgia is the "yeah, we ran all the tests and we don't really know" diagnosis.
She did say that the sleep apnea I have that is untreated will lead to FM
First off. Did you get a sleep study done for a proper diagnosis of sleep apnea. If you Dr suspects it your insurance should pay for it.
Second. If your sleep apnea is not treated properly, like your Dr said, it can lean do FM type symptoms. Anywhere, in anything you read on FM, one of the first things it says to rule out is some sort of sleep disorder. If you have sleep apnea you wake up hundreds of times a night. When you wake up hundreds of times a night you don't get enough time in stage 3/4 sleep (deep sleep or delta wave sleep.) If you don't get deep sleep you don't get proper growth hormone production. If you don't get proper grown hormone production you get really achy. There have been studies where researchers have deliberately deprived subjects of deep sleep my waking them up slightly (up to a lower stage of sleep) when they tried to go into stage 3/4 sleep and within a short period of time, they all acquired FM type symptoms.
Get the sleep thing sorted out. Step one.
My Celiac Disease doctor observed it when I went in for a check-up
I am not sure I have heard of a Celiac Dr. How did she diagnose you? If you have Celiac disease, any little bit of gluten can really really mess you up. Look at actress Jennifer Esposito, she had to quit because she had all sorts of wild stuff going on from Celiac. From what I have read, Celiac is notorious for causing pain. Make sure that's what you have and if so, and you probably already know all of this, but stay away from the gluten like the plague. Step Two.
Step Three. call that massage therapist or go back to them and see if what is going on after they treated you is normal. See if more sessions might help.
I began to have fears of MS again
If you are afraid of having MS. Don't freak out. Odds are you don't have it. I would think sleep apnea and Celiac Disease is more than enough to explain your symptoms. And duh, you had someone cranking on you trigger points. Anything you did new, like trigger point therapy, you have to suspect. It may be that it just takes time to recover from that sore of therapy.
I have read about MS and discussed it with many of the Dr. I have been to see. I was worried about that in the beginning also. It usually comes in the form of really extreme symptoms that come and go in localized parts of the body. Like "hey my legs just decided to drag all the sudden and I can' use it" or "Hey, I can't see out of one of my eyes." Really bad stuff. It is from your immune system attacking the myelin sheaths in your brain and spine. When the myelin goes its like striping the insulation off a wire and dipping it in water. BAM! whatever it was running does not work properly. Short circuit. Very extreme symptoms and not all over your body. From what the doctors have told me.
Just because you have Celiac, and it is autoimmune in nature, does not mean you will develop some other crazy autoimmunity. I think technically allergies are an autoimmunity. Everyone has those. It does not mean we all with get Lupus or MS or Rheumatoid arthritis. And your a guy so the odds are way in your favor.
If you are scared of having MS. Which you don't. Go to your general practitioner and say "look I still have these symptoms that seem to be neurological, can I get a referral to see a neurologist if just for my peace of mind." Surly if they are already treating you for anxiety, they should know that you need reassurance to heal your over active worry muscle

No big deal, don't freak out. 97% of the people on this board have gone to see a neurologist with it leading to nothing. When you see the neurologist, If that is something you chose to do, just say "Look I have these symptoms and need some closure on them not being anything." He will check you out and you can tell him you worry about MS. Ask him for an MRI of the brain and c-spine, if that is something you want to do, don't freak out. Your fine. When you get the tests back and they show nothing, which they will, then you will know. Don't freak out. You don't have MS but if you need closure you can have the test.
Seems like a lot of work for something that you might just be psyching yourself out about. Especially if you have other things going on that are way better answers to your symptoms.
If you find that thinking about this stuff causes more symptoms then that is probably another problem you need to address.
I feel for you. pain sucks. I hate it, and the buzzing. I really hate the buzzing.
Hope this helps. Just trying to think logically. I am not a doctor, nor did I sleep in a holiday inn last night.
