Hi Tinkerbell,

Life is n't fair sad to say and perhaps we don't get all the attention we should but - so every time a NO you haven't got this comes back we should feel better. generally Doctors are becoming more wize about Fibro its effects and how to cope with it. Your GP should send you to a Rheumatologist and they should check for all sorts of things ther by eliminating other diseasess.

Tinkerbell how long have you had Fibro? I do feel you know most of this already I dont want to teach you to suck eggs. so let me wish you less pain and a Happy Weekend.

I am so very sorry that you are suffering and struggling so much, and I genuinely want to wish you all the best of luck with finding the answers that you so desperately desire and deserve.

I wish I had the answers for you, but as ginsing says, a Rheumatologist is usually a good place to start to get answers, so it may be beneficial to ask your GP for a referral?

All my hopes and dreams for you
