    Hi From PA

    Hey everyone. I'm Samantha. I haven't been officially diagnosed yet because I ran out of money for copays and blood tests before I reached that point, but my doctor basically narrowed it down to Fibro or RA. After doing a ton of research on my own, I'm pretty sure it's fibro, mostly because the...

    New member, 27 years after diagnosis, and struggling

    I'm so glad I found this site! I was diagnosed in 1989. At that meeting, the rheumatologist who gave me this diagnosis (I had absolutely no knowledge of fibro) said "Some people go on to live their lives, and others aren't able to ever get out of bed again." I decided I would belong to the...

    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.
