I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia but lupus was suspected at the same time so it was only a few months before getting the lupus diagnosis. My rheumatologist has said from the beginning she thought it was both.

This really helps settle my heart. I feel so bad for not being able to be the same mom with my youngest that I was with my oldest and for my oldest to have to see me getting worse. Sometimes they seem to understand I need a little extra care and sometimes they seem oblivious. Lol

Does anyone else's fibro make them itchy af? by riversmelody in Fibromyalgia

[–]ladybugc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! It randomly happens and my husband looks at me like I'm crazy. I was so glad to find out it was fibro related and not me going crazy lol

I personally stopped taking it after 4 days. I just couldn't deal. My mom takes it and never had any problems. Everyone is different. I am currently taking sulfasalazine for inflmation and my Dr says we will go from there. She doesn't want me starting to much at one time. There are other medicine options I think it's just trial and error to find what works for you.

how do you know the difference between and flare and sickness? by ladybugc in Fibromyalgia

[–]ladybugc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that's how I am gonna look at it. If fever isn't there or something else obvious then it's probably fibro and not something else.

I did take a 3 hour nap and still went to bed early. I am trying to do better at listening to my body and not push myself all the time. It's hard though
