Liz that is the info that I found when I first went looking for info. It is very good and I have printed it out and keep it in a folder. I'm glad you put it on here...now others can find it too!
Sorry your hands are so painful and hope they are much better tomorrow!

Idealist, does your pain actually come and go? I have found that I can stop the pain if I sit and do nothing. If I try to keep the house clean or go shopping too much it all starts right back up with a vengence.
When the gastro doc pressed on my back in the thoracic area the pain went all the way through to the front of my chest. I thought that was a bit strange. Years ago when a doc pressed on the fibro points I felt a bit sore , yet later I was in some heavy pain. seems like I always hurt after they press on them and it gets progressively worse from there. I do the same thing after exercise or housework...I will start hurting a few hours later and then it is too late to stop or do anything about it. does that make sense? Gaye
