Fibromyalgia Support Group
You're not alone in your pain. Fibromyalgia is a condition that can be difficult to diagnose and manage. If you're trying to cope with pain throughout your body, sleep problems, general fatigue, or other common fibromyalgia symptoms, you're in the right place. The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
Just wanted to say after seeing my fibro worsen and my family doctor not listening to me, I made an appt to see a neuro/pain specialist. The new doctor immediately ordered a muscle biopsy. I had to wait one month for results but I got a new diagnosis. Polymyositis. This usually accompanies another autoimmune disorder. So along with fibro, I have this more complicated neuromuscular disease. Just a reminder that when you feel you have something more going on with your health, don't let your doctor blame everything on fibromylagia. It could be more and in my case it was!

It may be polymyo *instead of* FM---they have similar symptoms---but in any case, we got your back:-) And the treatments are similar to those for rheumatoid arthritis, so at least there are options out there.
Luck and blessing, keep us posted.
