Hi everyone,
I've been away from the boards for awhile...been busy working and such. Well for the last month or so i have been in such pain that i had had enough. Went to Doctor today and after looking at my chart and checking for the tender points etc he said that i indeed have fibro and not MS..It's been a crazy 10 yr journey to finally get some kind of dx, with numerous MRI's etc and no real answer. My other doctor back home said it was fibro and i was okay with that I mean at least i knew what was going on. Then sx got worse... tremors etc and my current dr thought it was MS said it is absolutely not fibbro.. glad to have a dx but kinda sad etc... cause i know that this is what i have to live with..he still wants me to get some ANA testing done as well as checking for Lupus, etc. Thanks for letting me vent Cindy |

I've not been here for ages either... I'm glad you got a lesser diagnosis than MS

I'm sorry that you have had such a long hard journey to find out what your dx really is...some say that having MS and Fibro is a two edged sword...I would have to agree since I have both...and CFS as well...it is hard for me every single day with all the pain and other symptoms I have...but I have learned to be very content with the pain and not struggle so much...it seems that the less I struggle the better I feel usually...but some of that is left to interpretation...I hope you have found supplements and pain relief so you may enjoy your life...

Oh dear! It can be such a long road!
I am not convinced, esp. with the newest FMS info,. that a diagnosis of FMS is any less incapacitating than some forms of MS. I know studies have shown both FMS and CFS are often severely incapacitating... even more so than many other conditions. I agree with "jewels," above... I hope you are able to enjoy life.  ~DejaVu |
