    First time visit

    Hi, This is my first time doing this and I hope it gives my family and friends a break from me. When I was diagnosed (about 4 years ago) I really didn't believe I had it. The only thing I knew about it was the commercials on TV for the drugs. I had a gall bladder attack and the doctors did...

    So my rhuematologist and GP have both told me that my diagnosis is not exclusionary and that they believe there could be an underlying illness on top of it. Has anyone else been told this.
