    Absolutely furious!

    Hi all, I have just come back from the rheumatologist. My doctor referred me to one so he could diagnose me with fibromyalgia. My doctor thinks I have it. I have every single symptom apart from IBS. I was only in the room with him for 7 mins. I wrote all my symptoms down but he didn't...

    Neurologist

    Has anyone seen a neurologist? The more I research it appears overactive nerves are my issue. I have IBS which used to be called a nervous stomach. I did try a muscle relaxer for a couple of nights. Helped a little. I am scheduled to see another rheumatologist soon.

    I'm in denial

    I've done quite a bit of research on fibro because I suspect my husband may have it, although the VA hasn't given him a diagnosis, he does have an rx for Lyrica and Cymbalta. But that's another can of worms. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in college, hypothyroidism when I was 22...
