hi lee sorry to hear it took so long to get diagnosis that must have been quite scary they are testing me for rheumatoid arthritis i was releived when they said it was fibromyalgia as i expected them to say rheumatoid arthritis if i have both the arthritis they think is early signs and wont be serious thankfully but its sinking in about fibromyalgia i work as a carer so as you can imagine i was abit worried and although it wears me out im determind to carry on im not on meds yet just relying on nurofen
