I was told I may well and probably do have fibro as well as RD. Rheumy said treatment would not be any different if I have or have not got it so it made no difference to him.

[Nuttyshirlz in reply to Ruth12345]

Yeah my rheumy said same to me it won’t make much difference to my arthritis just add a new pill 🙂 x thanks for reply x

It wasn’t mentioned specifically but the steroids I was given for three months at the start of my treatment for inflammatory arthritis got rid what I had felt for years was fibromyalgia.

A few years on and I’m still on the hydroxychloroquine and those pains have more or less stayed away although recently I’ve been feeling them again in my shoulders. I think that’s probably the cold and damp.

I would so love to take my body somewhere lovely and warm and ☀️

Yep i have fibro as well, it is fairly common for it to run along side arthritis as far as i know xxx

[Nuttyshirlz in reply to Hidden]

Lol least it explains why always in pain.can I ask do pills your on help.Im on methotrexate and sulfasalazine plus high blood pressure pills oh not forgetting folic acid lol my nurse was talking about amitnphyine thinks that’s how it’s spelt by her hand writing 🙂

Honestly i'm not on many pills right now, i used to be on a good 40-50 a day with my lupus but it went into remission so i stopped it all except for my painkillers which i take for multiple health problems. But really nothing has ever really helped the fibro with me it just is what it is. I use CBD oil and that has been the only thing to touch the sides with the fibro pain, Holland and Barret has a huge sale on cbd right now worth trying i know loads of fibro warriors who use it and have noticed a huge change in their flares, less twitchy muscles and much less pain after a few weeks use xxx

Don't worry CBD isn't going to get you high it has no THC in doesn't give you any effects at all xxx

[Nuttyshirlz]

Ok il have look into to it.just to told to watch lady ga ga film on Netflix lol x

[Hidden in reply to Nuttyshirlz]

Make sure you go to reputable places like Holland and Barrett or you could end up with low quality cbd and that won't do anything for you. Amazon sell some CBD supplements that work like fish oil does for your joints but i haven't tried them, i just use the oil :). Oh yes definitely watch that it's brilliant, i cried a few times seeing her in so much pain xxx

[Hidden in reply to Nuttyshirlz]
