    Diagnosis questions

    Been seeing a rheumy for about a year. Says I have poly-arthritis. I am on Prednisone, Methotrexate and Folic Acid. I use heating pad and baths to help with the stiffness and fatigue. They are not helping. I don't know what to do next. When I initially saw him he stated he didn't want to...

    Newbie to forum but not to the pain!

    Hi Everyone - I was diagnosed with RA ( rheumatoid arthritis ) 3.5 years ago and the Fibo climbed on for the ride. Lol As with most of you, it took a year to diagnose, I've gone from stiffness in my hands and feet to barely able to function some days. At the moment I'm going through the gamut of...

    I think I have FM, but MD has not diagnosed
