Yes...I am seeing a rheumatologist but can't get in till June 14th....my pain management doctor is great he is just as confused as I am but more than willing to keep me on my prescribed course of meds so there is no concern there. I have seen this rheumatologist at the beginning of my CP journey and since I tested negative for the RA factor she sent me on my way...but now after 3 years of CP and tons of RA and fibro symptoms I am being sent back...the yo yo-ing begins...
On a somewhat happy note...my insurance finally approved Botox for my migraines...and I am getting it done today. So maybe I will have less headaches and look younger for my daughter's wedding in October, lol! Lisa |

That's awesome Lisa! Glad you have an appt with the rheumy and hope you check back with the results of the visit. Wonderful on the Botox. Until I hit menopause, I had horrible migraines since my 20s. The emergency room type migraines.
![]() For the migraines I get now on occasion, I try plain aspirin first and when that doesn't work, get out my trusty Imitrex nasal spray. Anyway, congrats!

I saw my rheumatologist today and she believes that I do have fibromyalgia. I am getting a full blood workup to check for other autoimmune issues. She said I seemed to have a lot of inflamation and she wanted to see what that was all about...anyone else have a problem with imflamation?
THanks for any help ![]() L |
