Hello. I was diagnosed with CFS about 12 yrs ago. Recently I have experienced a lot of new pains such as my scalp feels like someone is pulling my hair. It lasts a couple of days then goes. There are no marks or anything just the pain. My leg muscles go rock hard and I have terrible foot and hip pain. I'm beginning to think its fibro. My problem is I live on a Greek island and the doctors have not heard if CFS do I'm afraid to yell them my symptoms. Any advice? Thx
Good for you! Think about taking a friend/relative with you because, sometimes we're so anxious that we don't "hear" everything the doctor said. I've even taken a tape recorder when I have to go alone. Just ask permission first to tape and tell them you want to make sure that you know all they said as sometimes you have difficulty remembering all the good advice they're giving.
Hello, diagnosis was fibromyalgia. The Rheumatologist was excellent, going for some blood tests this week to rule out anything else. I've started taking cymbalta.
My husband will come with me. Will keep you posted! Thanks again x
I have an appointment on Monday.
Hi, thanks for your message. I have just found a rheumatologist on the island so I think I'll try there, good advice to take some info
