Please bare with me as I am new to these forums.Starting a year ago I starting experiencing panic attacks only 2 in a 8 month span. For the last few months I have had severe muscle twitching and muscle tenderness. I also have neuropathy in my last two toes on left foot. All blood work has came...
At first my doctor thought I had anxiety, but a few months went by and the pain/aching has set in. He did a tender point test and some places didn't bother me but he barely pressed down. Other spots felt like sore/tender muscles. He did bloodwork, testing for a long list of things and it all...
[I] I am new to this community. I have been seeking any diagnosis. More than a decade ago I had a high Titer and was treated for Lupus. But now I am sero-negative, with symptoms and pain everywhere. I have been referred to a Rheu.and since I was sero-negative,I was dismissed from his care. The...
I'm new to all this kind of thing but my doctor thought it might be a good idea. So many people think just because I am young (44) and a man that I should be fine and have no problem getting around or have any pain. But they are wrong. I wish that was true. I have been diagnosed with...
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...

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...
I'm worried about getting a flu shot. Many of you have talked about having large swellings at the site of the injection.
I have some new (new to me) autoimmune disease that they haven't identified yet. It causes extreme swelling. My GP said he thinks it has to do with my synovial tissues...
Is anyone else taking lots of medication?
I'm on 12 lots a month at the moment aaannddd I still feel & look like hell, and not got all my test results back yet so this could increase.
When I was in the chemist last week speaking to the pharmacist I told her that I'm taking that many meds I...
When I saw my rheumatologist last week, she said she wanted me to read up on Enbril and Humira. For goodness sake, they both can make you susceptible to TB and Enbril can also make you more susceptible to some types of cancer. I don't know what to do. Who wants to take a drug like those...
I was diagnosed 13 months ago but instead of accepting that diagnosis I have spent the last year seeing specialist after specialist trying to find out what is really wrong with me. Guess What? After 1 year and countless appointments and dollars spent. I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA, CHRONIC PAIN, AND CFS...
