    I think I might have fibromyalgia

    Hi all. I am new here. I have been thinking that I have fibromyalgia. I went to my new primary care (nurse practitioner) and told her that I thought I had it. She sent me for blood tests (all normal but sed rate was on high side) and that was that. I asked for a rheumatology referral and...

    Diagnosis After Child Birth

    Hi Everyone, I am new to the forum. I want to share my story with you and find out if anyone has had a similar experience. I have lived with bad anxiety off and on since I was a child, but after the birth of my son in October 2013 my whole life turned upside down. I had a fine pregnancy... no...

    Diagnosed but not in the records

    I went to see a rheumatologist today and was actually diagnosed but he did not want to put it on my record yet since we still have to have the results from my HLA-B27 Antigen, SED Rate (ESR), Cyclic Citrullinated, Peptide (CCP) AB (IGG), C Reactive Protein and Rheumotoid Factor Blood to come...

    Going to a Rheumotologist for the first time

    I am almost 99.99% sure that what I have has to be Fibromyalgia. I have a long history with anxiety. My father passed away in 2008 from lung/stomach cancer that was very quick less than 6 months from diagnosis and my mom passed in 2009 from early onset alzheimers. Both were 60/58 years young...

    Fibro or not?

    For years I've been told I had neuropathy, then pheripherial neuroopathy, and last year Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease. I just saw a new neurologist and he did lots of test, including a MRI of the brain and he's ruled out everything neurological. But, he does think it's Fibromyalgia. I don't know...

    Pain clinic or not?

    I know everyone is different when it comes to what doctor has helped them the most. I have seen a Rheumatologist and I did not like him. And I am currently seeing my family doctor for my fibro. I have read about many of you going to pain clinics for fibro help. Can you tell me how a pain...

    Feel Like No One Wants To Help Me..

    This August I saw a Rheumatologist who I had to drive two hours to see. He told me I had fibromyalgia and said there was nothing he could do to help me. About two weeks ago I saw my GP who pretty much told me no to any idea of a pain relief other than Lyrica. Desperate for something to help my...

    discouraged with Rheumatologist

    I am new to this forum --am happy to have found someone who recognizes the pain I am in. I was diagnosed with Fibro in 1994 by a specialist who has since passed away. My PCP does not believe in Fibro so I went to the new Rheumatologist in the area because his ad said he treats Fibro. I was so...

    Medication no longer working

    Hello, everyone...I have a question about my pain meds. I have been taking Cymbalta and Tramadol for pain (I'm allergic to Neurontin). The Tramadol seemed to really help at first, but after a year plus of taking it, it doesn't seem to be as effective anymore. My GP seems apprehensive to...
