Hi there, I found this forum via PostLoop and even though I don't have a good enough rating to subscribe, I decided to join here anyways.
I started having autoimmune issues when I was 8. At 12 I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Athritis. Later on it progressed into Mixed Connective Tissue Disease. Fibromyalgia came about a couple years ago when my new rheumatologist tested the trigger points and I yelped in defiance.
I don't know how progressed Fibromyalgia is for me because long before being diagnosed my doctor had me on Citalopram (for prednisone related depression) and trazodone (for prednisone related sleep disorders). Both drugs have been prescribed to treat Fibromyalgia, so although I do experience pain I can function (provided I don't work, that is)
Anyways, I'm Karen and I hope I can contribute to this forum as well as find out more information.
