Hey all. It's been a while since I've blogged. I just wanted you all to know that I've finally found out what's wrong with me. It's not just arthritis after all. I also have Fibromyalgia. I'm so relieved to know why I hurt ALL the time and why I'm always exhausted. I knew it couldn't just be the arthritis. Not like this.
Fibromyalgia is not a disease that will worsen in time. It's treatable, but not curable. It's not gonna kill me. The Dr and I are working on finding the right drug combo to make me more comfortable. Once we figure that out, she says I can go days, even months without any symptoms. Thank God for that! I can't wait to start feeling good again. And yes, like the arthritis, I prolly would've had it later on in life, but dear old chemo just brought it on sooner. sigh
So, there ya go. I just wanted everyone to know so I don't have to keep telling everyone. I'll just tell you all at once.
Below is a link for a site you can go to for a better explanation of what fibromyalgia is. I don't want to explain it because I'm just learning myself. So, go check it out and I'll catch ya'll on the flip side!
