    Do you have any of these clinical findings?

It's frustrating for me not to have a diagnosis that my other doctors generally believe exists. I'm not a...

    A Complainer

    I have never liked going to the doctor and usually only go once a year for an annual physical/check-up.

    Hello from Calgary

    After being on a wait list for two years to see a rheumatologist, I finally got to see one today, and found out it isn't rheumatoid, or lupus, but it is fibromyalgia. So, I am starting a new journey, trying to learn and sort out what is going on, and what is in store for me on my journey.
