Well, the doctor says it looks like I have Fibromyalgia, hard to explain so Wikipedia definitionI got anti-inflammatries, not that I am sure they will do that much, and they are making me feel pretty ick, but they said they would. Not sure my doctor knows much about it, so may try and find one who does

arg that really sucks dude but at least you know what's wrong and can treat it now. I can't remember whether I told you, but a lady at my work had that. She used to sleep under the desk at work when she got tired. She ended up taking a couple of months sick leave and now she's back at work and raring to go.

Yeah it comes and goes, you have good patches and bad it seems, unfortunately you is stuck with it :( But knowing is good, means I can learn about it and get used to it

Well, at least you kinda know now. I hope in the next few months you start feeling heaps better! Want a vistor on the weekend sometime? I'll txt you:)

[bleakoptimism]

Visitorieness would be awesome :)
Next few months will probably be horrid as winter is one of the worst times, the weather affects it, what I thought was athritis turns out to be this, only now Im in my mid 20's its really hitting hard and coming into itself, le sigh, oh well I better get used to it as it aint going away

The main thing is that it's managable right! If you ever need anything and I'm not far from you let me know! Tea, biscuits, radox anything:)

You're a sweetie ^_^ Thank you

Poor sweetie !!! Hope the medication dose its job and makes you feel better soon!

[bleakoptimism]

Thanks honey, unfortunately the medication makes me feel ill, gives me headaches and yesterday I had wierd chest pains, plus when I take it it seems to stiffen me up bad, probably because I am not actually inflamed, When I see someone else I will see if they agree with these things

I spose it's a relief to know what it is, but arse all the same :( I would definitely doctor-shop if you can.

[bleakoptimism]

Think my Auntie Olive's doctor might be good if I can get in to see them, as she has it too, so they would know what they are dealing with atleast.
I agree ... total ARSEness

I don't know a lot about Fibromyalgia but the fact it's an autoimmune disease. I see a lot of people with it posting on autoimmune and I also saw there's this fibromyalgia" community. Maybe they could be useful to hear how other people deal with it as from my experience a lot of doctors don't totally know what they are doing/what to do when it comes to these illnesses.
