and my 92 year old moms favorite thing to say to me is "well i dont hurt like that and your only 56. those days part of me would like to give her just a portion of this crap for a couple hours so she knows how it feels

I have thyroid problem as well. I take 112 mg of levthyroxine they had to up my dosage it seemes like every 6months to a year

I just posted nearly the same question. I had minor arthritis, now it has gone all over in less than a year it is osteoarthritis but just the same, on top of fibro and bursitis and tennis/golfers elbow....I feel wiped out! What did your rheumatologist say and how are they treating you?

Yes!!!! It's the same for me . My rheumatologist diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis about a year after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I now have to give myself a shot once a week. I know how painful it is. It started and progressed fast. I hope that you get to feeling better soon.

Hey, I'm sorry I don't have any answers but I do know how awful this illness can be. I get a lot of wrist pain - the bones ache and throb like something is gnawing on them. I also get pins and needles and numb areas of skin. Do you see a rheumatologist? I only had two appointments with mine - one to diagnose and the other to tell me there is nothing they can do so to follow it up with the GP. Luckily I found a local pain management group but I had to find it on my own. My only advice is to read all you can of fibro and arthritis and try to find a pain management service or clinic. I hope that helps a little? Stay Beautiful xSx
