    How Fibromyailgia Has Affected Me

    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...

    Another Dr. , Another frustration - when will I know what's wrong?

    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...

    Hello from Dundee, Scotland

    Fibromyalgia versus ALS

    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...

    Weakness in both arms and legs at the same time

    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...
