Hi:

After suffering years and years of "pain all over" , not that I did not mention it to the doctors, which they dismissed. The new Rheumy told me a week ago that I had Fibro. I have pains all over at times , some here, some there. Yesterday I had the most severe pain in the right kidney area that I had to come home. I've had this pain before but was able to stand the pain, nothing I did took it away.
When the doctor examine me, he applied pressure to all the hot points, but none of them hurt at the time. Are they suppose to hurt?? And......those pressure points have never hurt me except for one and thats a "maybe" .
I do have pains on my left lower leg, dull pain, a burning pain on my thigh and wrist, dull pain in the chest area that sometimes pops, no its not my heart, if it was I would of been dead by now, pain on the outside of my left breast area, headaches, bachache, jaw pain, left thumb pain, which has been there for awhile, shoulder shooting pain. When i have chest or lung area pain, it hurts to deep breath or sneeze,trouble sleeping, sometimes in the morning I cannot get out of bed, so i "roll" out of bed. All these pains come and go.
And I do not have them every day either. Weeks can come and go without any pain.
I am not depressed at all, I might be sad on occassion . I am a cheerful outgoing person. I am not lazy either. I have a job, I walk my doggy everyday. I basically do lots of stuff everyday.


So what is your diagnosis?? LOL. I want to hear what you all think. I really do not beleive my doctor, I think he "rushed" to judgement. I told him that I had done some research on Fibro and Lupus. He said it was not Lupus. My daughter has Lupus but he said not I .
And I certainlly do not want to take the med he prescribed unless totally necessary!! And I told him that too.

P.S. I do have osteoarthritis, hiatal hernia and an ulcer...which I am being treated for.


So give it to me, tell me what you all think.

Thanks
Mary
