Hi Rainbow,

I'm guessing from your med list that perhaps your doc thinks there may be an influence of autoimmune /collagen vascular / rheumatological problem in addition to just plain fibro? Plaquenil, Pred, Methotrexate & other cytotoxics are more commonly rxd for those things than they are for garden variety fibro.

Having said that, there are many of us who have "overlaps," more than one potential cause for our pain. I myself have been dxd with OA, RA, lupus, MCTD, Sjogren's and fibro. It can be hard to figure out which label is causing which portion of an everyday affliction.

Best wishes.
