And Now Fibromyalgia

Today's visit with physical medicine took a rather unexpected turn. The doc I saw did a lengthy history and review of all the testings I've had done over the past several years since my migraines got out of control and, of course, a physical exam. Then she asked if any doctor had ever talked with me about Fibromyalgia before. It has never been suggested by anyone I've seen but my pain situation has certainly been changing over the past year and so perhaps it wasn't until now that someone took a wide look at what's going on and had enough pieces to the puzzle.

She was convinced after her exam and history that I also have Fibromyalgia now.

This is new.

I guess for now I'm just going to sit with the new diagnosis and as time permits I'll start doing research about it. The physical med doc I saw recommended that I go through their 3 day fibro clinic to learn more about it and learn about how it is effecting me and how to manage it better. They don't have an opening until July so I'll come back later and do that.

Honestly, I'm just a little overwhelmed right now. I was overwhelmed before this news with all the moving and such, but now. Well I don't quite know what to think.
