Some background info:
Since I was about 17 I've had pain in my ankles, especially during bad weather. I've also had trouble sleeping at night and staying awake during the day. I am now 30 and I still have ankle pain but now it's also in my hand joints, wrists and elbows. I also get neck and back pain. It's always worse when there is going to be a storm that day. I've been tested for RA and the tests came back negative but my doctor is sending me to a rheumatologist. Does this sound like fibromyalgia? That's what my doctor thinks it is, I was just wondering if someone who has it could tell me if this sounds like it. I will also say the pain is excruciating, I cannot do anything that day other than cope with pain when it gets bad. Also, I have several family members, including my sister, who deal with pain like this as well.
