Hi Broomesa
Please will you let us all know how your appointment goes?

So the appointment went quite well. I didn't feel rushed at all, he asked lots of questions about how I felt and looked through all of my notes. He checked me over thoroughly. He do doesn't think it is fibromyalgia and didn't mention it once, he is looking at two separate issues, weakness in my leg muscles and then the pain in my lower back that radiates down to my thighs that he thinks may be related to the possible psoriasis I have on my scalp. He sent me for blood tests (lots for 2 separate issues), and X-rays on my hips and back.
The only downside is I have to have an MRI so have to wait for that and then my return appt is not until MAY!!!!
So I don't know where I really stand or what's going on but I felt like the appointment was positive and got something out of it ☺️
Hi Broomesa
That sounds quite a positive appointment my friend. I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck with the MRI and any results that come from this. Please take care of yourself.
All my hopes and dreams for you
Ken
