Today I was diagnosed with Fibromyalia and Rheumatoid Arthritis.  The doctor knew I had Fibro last week, but he wanted to be sure about the RA.  Granted, lab work came back normal, but my fingers are getting that RA twist to them.  Doctor said that it's just a matter of time before the labs confirm the RA.

How do I feel?  Physically, I'm not sure.  Emotionally, I'm relieved that I finally have a firm diagnosis, but at the same time, I feel sad because I know that I have a very long road ahead of me and 2 illnesses that can't be cured but only controlled.
