    Not sure if I have fibro but feel like it is...

    I have periods of time where I have no pain. But then I have periods of time where it hurts to touch parts of my body. Like it feels like my bones hurt. I also get very tired.

    Who to believe?

    I was seen at one of the top hospitals in the US for my symptoms. I saw a rheumatologist, neurologist, infectious disease doctor, allergist, GI, and the pain clinic. I got what I like to call a 'non-diagnosis' of fibromyalgia. I tried a few medications that did more harm then good...

    Referred to Rheumatologist

    Is it just fibromyalgia?!?

    I have been recently diagnosed and just wondered, is it ever just fibromyalgia? I've read many articles, blogs, and patient forums. It appears that fibromyalgia isn't a singular illness. The majority seem to have other health issues affecting them along with fibromyalgia. It makes me wonder...

    Diagnosed 3 years ago but still lost!

    I was diagnosed by a pretty crummy rheumatologist who basically went off of some blood tests taken by my GP and then felt my joints (which always hurt) and said that I had Fibro.
