Hi, I just wanted to say hello, a neurologist and my GPS said they think I have fibromyalgia. I have had every test done, it seems. I have an appointment with my GPS soon for an official diagnosis I guess.So just starting the journey. I am 48 and started having the typical weird symptoms everyone seems to have starting with severe cultivars about five years ago. Now I have tender spots, knee pain elbow, hands wrist neck, lower back etc. I also have overwhelming fatigue. The list is much longer, but I don't feel like typing it all out as my thumbs and wrists hurt, lol. I am looking forward to learning more about this disease.

Hello and welcome to this group.

support is a good step to dealing with your pain.

i have posted two threads under general discussions that may help you as they have helped me.

"what is fibromyalgia" and "starting a daily log book and why it helps"

Learn as much as you can about what is causing your pain. learn to explain your pain to the doctor is very important to getting the help you need.

Accepting your diagnosis is the first step to getting relief and a better quality of life.
