Fibromyalgia

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

My sister has it.... . There is a possibility that I have it too, but it is not proven yet

Thanks so much for bringing this up Karen. I have recently come to the conslusion that Fibromyalgia is the only thing that describes what I've had for years. My doctor doesn't really buy into it, as I found out at my annual physical last month. I wasn't thrilled or satisfied with his answers. What do I need to do to find out if this is what I suffer from? I made an appointment with a rheumatologist to get the ball rolling, at the advice of a friend. However, they can't see me until January, 2007. This morning I go for more bloodwork to narrow a few more things down. I knew of no other course besides process of elimination. What does one do to find out if they really have it? I would love some advice from people that already know. Thanks

I'm so sorry to hear you have it on top of everything else. What a brave soul you are!!

A rheumatologist is the only doc who is trained to find out! Try a younger doc, the older ones sometimes don't support this

Yes, I have it. It along with my arthritis insures I'm miserable most of the time!!!

I'm so glad I have Pet Talk to take my mind off the pain.

[Daisy and Delilah]

What types of meds do the doctors prescribe for the pain? Is there any medication that takes care of such horrible bouts of pain?
