(Sorry, I wasn't aware that newcomers were to post here first.) Hi, everyone. I don't have a *diagnosis* yet, but my GP has been ruling out other conditions. Several months ago, I started having new pain. I have osteoarthritis and I went to the doctor, assuming it was just getting worse. When I told him what I'd been noticing, he frowned and said, "Hmm. I think we should check some other things and see if perhaps you have fibromyalgia." Well, knock me over...that hadn't ONCE occurred me!
Onto to the answers I'm unsure of:
I have pain in my joints daily, and at times, I have pain that's more muscular and widespread....much like it feels when you have the flu. Does that sound familiar? I haven't been able to find consistent answers as to where people with fibro normally have pain. I do have areas that are tender to touch, but I'm not sure where, specifically, it most often presents with this condition. Is it only in the joints or elsewhere? I'd appreciate any responses or insight.
I'm sorry anyone needs to be here, but I'm glad there is support for those who do.
