Brief Answer:
Alternative medicine suggested

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic once again. I saw your question lying unanswered for a long time and hence took it up. I have gone through the attachments. Although it is clear that you are tall and skinny, it does not demonstrate definitive signs of Ehler Danlos and as I have previously discussed, you need to let your doctor confirm on the possibility.

I checked the pharmacy list and saw that you have already tried Lyrics. You may ask your doctor to prescribe Cymbalta (duloxetine) or Savella (milnacipran).

I am 5'2". Can go from 88 lbs to 104lbs in the matter of 3 days. Clinical dx would be possible instead of just giving up on me. I need to get better and want my life back. I appreciate your taking a look but until someone can give me proof that it's just "fibromyalgia" I'm gonna fight to feel better. I just want to feel better. That's it.

Brief Answer:
Fibromyalgia is just a name for the presentation.

Detailed Answer:
I understand your concern. But it is no use growing impairment.

Fibromyalgia is not a disease, it is merely the name of a presentation. As fever means raised temperature, fibromyalgia means algia ( = pain) of fibrous and muscular tissue. Whether you have such a pain is upon you to say.

The sudden fluctuation in body weight cannot occur without excess food intake. The stored energy needs to come from somewhere. Self control and anxiety control are invaluable in this regard. Try yoga and meditation. Try the medicines I have mentioned.
