I haven't been diagnosed yet, but I do have a referral to a rheumatologist. The down side is I can't be seen until February 1.
I am not entirely sure I have fibromyalgia, and maybe I am in denial. It just seems like from what I read, most everyone has it much worse than I do pain wise. I have burning discomfort in my ankles, shoulders and sometimes my legs. My legs ache as well as my upper back. I also have burning sensations in my lower back on occasion and in my hips.
I don't have extreme fatigue either. So I am just not sure. I guess that is why the neurologist is sending me to a rheumatologist.
I read the boards and general fibromyalgia websites, but can someone please explain to me what flare is? I am confused about a flare because most of you seem to suffer every day.
