Has anyone with fibromyalgia been told this disease can spend off into another disease like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis etc?
Was told that it doesn't develope into other's but that its not uncommon for you to have more then one condiiton. I was born with a autoimmune condition, then developed T1 diabetes so what's another one added to the ever growing list
Yes, I have been told that. I don't know if it is true. I do know from reading about these things that FM can be diagnosed when in fact it could be Lupus or Rheuatoid Arthritis. I did read that FM could have caused some of my childhood illness's because they didn't know about it back then. I just keep praying and leaning on God to get me through.
Yes, fibromyalgia is a autoimmune diseases my rheumatologist told me this at my appointment yesterday.
Many people seem to have more autoimmune illness. I wonder if FM is also autoimmune?
i was diagnosed with arthritis first and when the pain and muscle cramps increased they did further tests and another doctor told me that it was possibly FM too.
