So I went and saw the Rheumatologist this morning. After asking me numerous questions and prodding me here, there and everywhere, he informed me that i had a textbook case of FibromyalgiaI spent a lot of the day crying on and off. I mean, i'm glad that we finally have a name for it, and I think that's why I kept crying ( Read more... )

All positive news babe *hugs*. Knowing must be such a relief. As you said now you can tackle it :-)

Absolutely and get well I will!

Started tonight with the low dose anti-depressant which i did not want to take, but this is to help with the restless legs and get my sleep back on track......yep, working great....it's 3.10am! lol (yes, yes, i know it will take more than one night)

I suppose now knowing what it is, i can mentally tackle it as well and be aware of my limitations without the guilt.

Fantastic news Jacq. Well not about being sick, but knowing what it is. Now the battle is almost over and getting well is just a matter of time. This means of course that you can come to more willy munches!

lol, yes indeed. I love the Willy munches! And I'll still try to get to them and as soon as this bloody thing goes away, there'll be no stopping me! (is there one soon?)

Will be so nice to have energy and no pain on a regular basis rather than sparodically.

I've taken this weekend just for me. The stresses of the family are on the back burner and I need to be nice and kind to me so that I can start this healing process.

Thanks cori,

Yes, it's a huge relief and I've been looking at some of the symptoms and realised that i've actually had this for quite some time and struggled through.

But now I'm determined to get rid of this, and it's funny because for the past 14 months or so my diabetes has been really badly uncontrolled (I've done the right things, my body hasn't). The Dr thinks the diabetes was the underlying factor in getting Fibromyalgia, but now the Fibromyalgia could be what's making my diabetes worse.

So, it's a MUST to get rid of it!
