I am new to this site and after years of suffering on and off with pain, i feel i am now starting to get somewhere. I have had the tests for MS and have now been refered to a rhumatologist. It was my best friend who unoffically cares for me who researched Fibromyalgia and said having looked on the NHS site that all the symptoms and tests and explanations i have had over the years where echoed by many of you. Even symptoms that i have that i just put down to me are echoed on here.
Finally my doctor said at my last reveiw that he thinks the outcome of my results will be Fibromyalgia. I have read alot of posts on here and it is reasuring to know what is to come and that there is support and somewhere to come and talk when things get hard.

Hi Tasha and welcome. I must admit a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia for me was a bit of a relief. Having loads of different symptoms and not getting a proper diagnosis can be quite distressing as it makes you feel as if you are going mad. Fibro is not nice but if you can get your symptoms under some kind of control then life can go on although not "normal" as you think of it.
You will always get lots of support on this site from people who understand what you are going through so never be afraid to come on and say what you are feeling. Look forward to catching up again soon. Love Angela xx

The hunt for a diagnosis
New here. First gp visit after official diagnosis
Fibro diagnosis
To claim PIP for Fibromyalgia does the diagnosis have to be confirmed by a consultant rheumatologist or will the GPs diagnosis be enough?
