    Very confused about my Dx.

    Hello Everyone, I am new here and I'm hoping to get some feedback. I have recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis. I know for sure the Osteoarthritis was a accurate diagnose, but still in denial about the fibromyalgia. For starters I have joint pain and muscle aches...

    hesitant GP

    I have had the same GP for 8 years, and he's been hands down the best doc I've ever seen. In the past three years he's referred me to two different rheumatologists a year apart. They both said I had fm. I didn't like that one bit and stubbornly didn't follow up. Gotta love denial. I am now at a...

    Caregiver needs your input

    Newly diagnosed.

    Hi everyone! My name is Cari. I am new to the group and the world of fibromyalgia. Yesterday I went to the rhumatologist for the first time and was told I have fibromyalgia. My jaw literally dropped. It was not on the list of things I thought I might have. I must admit I'm in a bit of...

    New to the Support Group

    Hello-- I've been totally in denial about Fibromyalgia but I finally realized that this an unpredictable annoying illness. It's so frustrating to even explained to people because of the internal pain. I simply sometimes just say that it feels like the "Flu" without the runny nose. It's hard...

    Diagnosed last week and in slight denial

    Last week a rheumatologist diagnosed me with fibromyalgia/chronic pain. I should share that I was diagnosed as hypothyroid 4 years ago. And I'm overweight. I've blamed many of my problems on my weight, even as my dosage for my hypothyroidism has increased. Over the last two + years, many...

    So Complicated

    This having fibro really really sucks. I am now trying to find a new doctor to treat me. The neurologist that has been treating me for the past 3 years apparently doesn't want me as a patient anymore. He didn't say as much but when I saw him over 2 weeks ago he really gave me the impression...
