Brief Answer:
fribromyalgia syndrome(FMS)
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. I want to highlight two things mainly in your case.
-fibromyalgia
-menopause
Fibromyalgia is the main culprit for most of your symptoms like pain,morning stiffness,numbness,problems with urination,depression,sleep problem,fatigue,headache.Even sticky eyes in morning is included in fibromyalgia syndrome.
Night sweats are due to menopause as there will be harmonal imbalance.Certain medications like antidepressants will also play a major role in 8-22% people with night sweats
If you were my patient I would have advised you some of the following:
-The medications you are taking are good enough and continue with the same if possible try to change the antidepressant you are using after consulting your treating doctor.
-Physical therapy plays a good role in fibromyalgia patients as they will use heat and cold packs which will make the muscle free from stiffness and pain and there will me motion.
-Diet: I suggest you to eliminate the food you suspect that you are irritable or your symptoms getting worse with them for 6-8 weeks and then continue the food to know the changes.Try to avoid diary products and gluten.
-Exercise will help you a lot in reducing your symptoms by keeping muscles strong and flexible and controlling weight.
You can find the types of exercises and diet in internet but I have written my suggestions by personal experience as people with fibromyalgia syndrome tell the same to us.
Hope you will fight back the disease and be strong. Follow the instructions given by your treating doctor too.
Regards
