BOB4 I know how you feel! This morning I went to see my GP complaining of tiredness and suggested it was because I am in constant pain with my osteoarthritis. What happened? She was very concerned that I looked so pale, ordered blood tests and because she thought my face looked a bit 'different' said I have to see a neurologist! I knew my day wasn't going to be a good one when I got a bus to the health centre and as I got off (slowly with a walking stick) the driver shut me in the doors!!! I am really trying to keep my sense of humour and have no idea why my p.c. is underlining all this in red!! Uuurrrgggghhhh.

You may not have carpel tunnel. I was diagnosed as having this, however after having the operation I was in formed it was Arthritis. Now I have regular steroids injection. Without this I'm left with very stiff and painful joint.

Had carpel tunnel op 6 months ago, now have OA flair in both thumbs, yes the chronic fatigue as well, I am now questioning the thinking of the "experts".

Me, lots of things, it's hard to keep happy xx
