    Referred to Rheumatologist

    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...

    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...

    Nervous System

    Today marks my 6th year of PoTs and CFS/Fibromyalgia. After everything has been ruled out, the only thing left for me is testing for Guillian Barre Syndrome. Has anyone ever been diagnosed with Guillian Barre Syndrome and experienced symptoms of CFS/Fibfomyalgia/ PoTs?

    Enbrel or Humira?

    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...
