Hi

I'm not medically trained so can't answer on your pleurasy but you do seem to have the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Please let me know how you get on? Take care Lynne

Hi, unfortunately no-one is qualified to suggest whether your possible fibromyalgia diagnosis is correct or not, especially as you have other health conditions going on and are awaiting further tests and referrals xxx
