Hi Kath,
I presume you have had bloods done and you are confirmed NOT anaemic. Did the consultant say fibrositis (fibromyalgia) or fibrosis?

Hi John and Sue I have blood done every 6-8 weeks definetley did not say fybromyalgia not hundred percent sure now whether it was fibrositis or fibrosis did say that this hadnt shown in x ray but as my breathlessness on movment was not improving, this was what was wrong What is the difference between the two?
