If you can't get to see your G.P. this week, I suggest getting to A.& E. at your nearest hospital. It might be nothing, but your symptoms could suggest a more serious problem than just Fibromyalgia. Don't get too worried at this point, though.

I have had Fibro for approximately 11 years and panicked when my glands under my arms became swollen for the first time. I visited my GP who advised that it was the outward sign that my immune system was actively fighting infection. It is part and parcel of having Fibro. I also have Lupus (SLE). Hope this helps
