Sure. I didn't give a prognosis earlier because I hadn't had time to fully research it myself to summarize adequately. From what I understand, it's anyone's guess as to the outcome. She has had patients who are on medication long-term and others who are on it short term, but she seemed...

Basically mine are the same as fibromyalgia, to be honest. Some of the symptoms didn't quite fit, though, like swollen fingers and toes. I asked why she said one over the other and she said that fibromyalgia was a diagnosis of exclusion. Since there was a diagnoseable option that fit slightly...

I had my long awaited visit with a rheumatologist today and I was positive she was going to say fibromyalgia. Instead, she said she was confident it was spondyloarthropathy and sent me for some further tests to confirm. I hope I can continue to check in with this group, despite a different...

Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm glad to hear that you aren't going to do anything desperate but I'm sorry that you feel that way. So there was nothing positive from the meeting with the new doctor? Maybe at least you have found a medical professional who will listen. Did you tell her how you are feeling...
