I'm sorry you are suffering with all of that. You definitely deal with several of common symptoms of fibromyalgia. But fibro had several symptoms in common with lots of other illnesses, diseases, deficiencies, what have you.

Only a medical professional can test and eliminate the other possibilities.

I do hope you find your answer.

Good luck×

Hello and a warm welcome to our friendly fibro forum where you can find advice, support, help and understanding.

Our mother site fmauk.org has a wealth of information including guides and links.

Unfortunately fibro does sometimes accompany other conditions including RA, and your rheumatologist is most likely to be the one to give you a formal diagnosis.

However,fibro is a good mimic of many conditions and it is only when these have been eliminated is there a default for fibro.

I suggest you speak to your GP to see if anything could be done to tweak your medication or perhaps to prescribe something different to get on top of these symptoms.

I do hope we see you around the forum.

Hello there paints47 welcome to our very friendly group. One of the biggest differences between RA and fibromyalgia is inflammation. In RA, joint inflammation is one of the key symptoms. People with RA often notice that their joint pain appears on both sides of their body.

If you have noticed other things that feel different to the norm for you may I suggest talking with your doctor. It's good to see on the forum like bluebell99 I hope we see you here again.

Hi paints47

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? Welcome to the forum and it is wonderful to make your acquaintance. I am truly sorry to read of your suffering and struggling, and what you have described could be Fibro but it could also match several other medical conditions.

I would discuss how you are feeling with all of this with your doctor as they will need to run some tests to rule other conditions out of the equation.

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken
