hey all,
gosh i don't know where to begin... guess i should begin with being dxed in 97 with ms. envolved many docs however the rheumy i saw last was the one to stop the madness so to speak. he questioned if i had lupus as well at the time and frankley i got scared and drug up and went to a ms specialist ![]() over the years manytimes i too have questioned the dxs and at times didnt care what name they called as long as i got some relief. i have moved and had to change neuros and my current one says he thinks i have fibro and says i need a rheumy as well. he added cymbalta for the time being and now i am so overwhelmed having read the info here as well as the links provided. all the pieces have fallen in to place and every dad blame symptom including the myofacial ones describe me. in many many ways i am more afraid now then i was when they said i had ms. how could they have overlooked this all this time??? to be perfectly honest i personally never really had much faith in the dxs myself. btw i have an uncle that was dxed with fibro last year. ifit the profile to a t including the thoracic outlet syndrome, endometrosis,fibrocystic breasts ![]() my brain is over flowing and i feel the fog. help.........where do i start? |

Hello peekaboo and welcome to NeuroTalk. Wow, sorry about your dx problems. FM and MS have so many sx's that mimic each other, so it's sometimes very hard to determine which ache or pain is the MS or FM. Have you had MRI's etc that were conclusive in an MS DX?
I think maybe another opinion might be a good idea for you. However, I am glad you found us and hope you take a look around and make yourself at home.
