QuestionHi, Dr. Munir,
My doctor believes I have a mild case of fibromyalgia, though I don't have any tender points and fatigue is more pronounced then pain. I'm glad I have somebody to label my condition, but I'm still on the lookout for possible underlying conditions. I didn't mention to my doctor that I have occasional bronchial sounding coughs (no phlegm) and teeth sensitivity to cold things so I was wondering if I should mention this. A few years of blood tests have shown WBC counts that are a little low (averaging 4.5) but cells like monocyte and lymphocyte counts don't look abnormal and it's believed the TB antibiotic I took long ago was the cause. For the teeth, my dentist said they were healthy and recommended I use Sensodyne but it surprisingly didn't do anything for me.
