I've already been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, after which I promptly pissed off my Rheumatologist by saying I thought nobody believed that to be a legitimate diagnosis. He said, "Well, I do."
I've always had bad luck with doctors. They always say I have an unusual case. Nothing is ever easy...

Sigh, all I want for Christmas is a doctor who will figure out what the heck is wrong with me! :confused:
So my rheumatologist does not treat Fibro, he "only excludes it as a possibility" None of the tests he ran came back with a clue as to what might be the cause of my fatigue, muscle pain...
Just 'popping' in to say hello. I can go a few weeks without feeling a single symptom at all and I begin to doubt my doctor's 'prognosis' (is that the right word). Then I get hit again and sometimes a lot and sometimes a little. Reading on other sites about how some people are affected I...
I'm in the very beginning stages from being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I am still trying to figure out a lot of things and one of them is medicine. So far, medicaid will not pay for any of the meds my doctor would prefer to start me out with; Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Savella, have all been...

In response to a post:
Your newest batch of symptoms sound more like fibromyalgia than anything else. ALS isn't going to cause pain in early stages. LOSS OF USE is what usually sends those with ALS to the doctor. They suddenly can't do something--for me, it was I couldn't push the buttons to...

Hello Everyone,
I have had a rough 6 months. I still don't know what I have, but I do have something. I have not been to a neurologist yet, but I will be going soon. I was wondering whether these symptoms might be symptoms of ALS. I have read a lot of posts on this forum. What is unclear...
