Hi there. :-D
I am new to the forum. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia today by my rheumatologist and have been searching the internet for some answers to questions I really don't know yet!
I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis 7 years ago and have been on quite a few medications during...

I'm 65 with super skin contact sensitivity on my legs. It started last summer. Felt like my legs were burning even with a sheet over them. Wearing shorts helped a great deal, but now that's it's winter I still want to wear loose, summer pants. The feeling is a cross between itchy/dry and prickly...
Hi everyone:

My first rheumo initially diagnosed me, but said he didn't treat it. Usually Neuros do.

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...
I am not happy with the GP/Neurologist I have been working with since August. I won't go into details, but it basically comes down to the fact I don't trust her anymore. I asked to be taken off of Savella, and she said ok let's try Fetzima instead. It is almost an identical medication AND it...
Hi everyone, so lately I've been "blanking out" for a quick second here and there, a few weeks ago I started having moments of complete disorientation, not recognizing where I am or remembering what I'm doing. I saw my primary care dr and he scheduled me for an EEG to check for absence seizures...

Hello everybody
