I saw a rheumy, he sent me straight to a neuro, who said I was too old for MS.

Decided not to bother any more - felt like a hypochondriac.

In Dec 2008 I saw a different rheumy. He examined me, found NO tender points despite the muscles being almost constantly in spasms!! Then he told me I have fibro. Well, a diagnosis, any diagnosis is appreciated.

I wonder how many have been told they have fibro and later on been diagnosed with MS?? There seem to be a lot of similarity

Wonderful bunch of people here, I read lots - but don't post often. Feel I don't fit.

Have a lovely day
