I have fibro, sjogren’s, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis arthritis, diabetes. My doctor told me that with fibro most people have multiple auto-immune disorders.

I’m not sure if one exaggerates the other but I’ve had arthritis in my lower back and pelvic bone for a few years then was diagnosed with fibro earlier this year. I do know stress increases my flares, as well as cold wet weather. X

@A MyFibroTeam Member I do believe I dont have as much pain as others, I am still working and can manage most days (there is always pain). My symptoms only started last year (with no previous health issues) and I was diagnosed at the beginning of this year. I take naproxen, amitryptiline, sertraline and trying to come off cocodomal just now. I take multivitamin, vitamin B, evening primrose and green tea tablets. I also use epsom salts in a bath and have a magnesium spray. I am still in the process of trial and error with 'fibro' meds, but I am lucky to have an understanding and helpful doctor xx

@A MyFibroTeam Member I believe many other things go hand in hand. The fatigue hit me first. Then migraines, neck, back of head, and shoulder/back pain. Then my knees. Then, APS, Mild/dormant Lupus, starting to feel pains in fingers. I have quite a bit of pain in what was thought to be my c spine, but now it's my SI joint. Plus all the other things that are listed on my story. They have all emerged as I have aged and more so in the last 5-10 years.
