Please keep us updated on a diagnosis. I have fibromyalgia and recently think I have some neurological disorder as well. Fibro is so frustrating.
There’s blood work for them to know if u have lupus. If I’m not sure my rheumatologist told me it’s something u wld find in ur early 30s but if u don’t go to dr no one will know until ur in the pains and need the help.

My doctor thinks that’s a possibility too @A MyFibroTeam Member hope you are not suffering too much. Have you been on methotrexate? Xxx
