New and Just Diagnosed!
Hi!
I was tested for Rheumatoid arthritis a few weeks ago and when the tests came back it was positive. I made an appt to see a RA doc...After seeing two docs they both came back with a diagnosis of Fibromyralgia...so I am now in the process of reading about the disease...
Where should I start and what should I know? I am not convinced this is what I have since I have so much pain from my fusions and spinal pain...but am willing to read and learn..
Anything you can share...Where do I start?
Thanks...
