Sounds like your in a flare. Have they put you on any meds at all?? Try taking a hot bath to see if that can take the pain away a bit and then take a tylenol because Iknow I was running a fever yesterday and it was the fibro not me getting sick

It sounds like a flare up to me as well. I hope your able to get rest and good meds on board. That is all that helps my flare ups. I'm not sure about the fever, I haven't experienced that,not that I know of.

Most of us understand the 'it's all in your head thing'. Been there! Try to find something good to focus on. I understand the depression. It just won't help you...the stress hormones will make you worse. Lots easier said than done, I know!! hang in there!

HI Jj29,

You might want to try keeping a diary of your symptoms. It will be useful information when you do see the Rheumy. The more you can tell him, the better.

I keep notes because I forget things quite easily.

Your doctor will probally like to run things first. It takes a while to do all the tests and try treatments that may rule out things before they can be sure.

But if could be fibro., pray it isn't and that it is somthing that can be cured.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
