Fibro And/or MS?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was diagnosed with the fibro in May, although symptoms started much sooner. I feel pretty confident about this diagnosis, but here lately, I've been experiencing other symptoms. Has anyone ever been to a neurologist to rule out things like CFS or MS? I'm considering requesting a referral.

Yes. A neurologist was my first step in diagnosing fibro. He had to rule out lupus and MS, among other things. I HIGHLY recommend going to a GOOD neurologist

Eczema

Has anyone else developed eczema? I do hydrotherapy twice a week and am in my hot tub every day I'm not in a pool. I think the excess water has dried my skin out. I'm researching remedies. Someone suggested borage oil. I itch!

Very disturbing. I took one 15 mg last night and I was awake and angry all night long. I am not taking this. Too bad for anyone that owns stock in this drug company. These for the majority are horrifying side effects.

Does Anyone Know If You Have To Wait Until Short Term Disability To End Before You Can Start A Claim For Long Term?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I stopped working on Aug 1 and still have not been approved for short term disability through my employer. If I'm approved (fingers crossed!) and paid, I'd rather not have a huge gap between payments during the transition from short to long term.

You'd Short Term Emplyer Sponsored Plan will quite you !
