Hi, FEMALE Gerisly, and welcome! Yes, I read your other post first! You are doing fine with the computer.
You can have arthritis AND fibro and your doctor should know this. There are still doctors out there in the Dark Ages when it comes to fibro. Also NEVER let them tell you it's all in your head. If they were having these issues, I wonder how they would feel with that "diagnosis"! No, the pain and fatigue is very real.
Be sure to read Fibro 101...the first thread on the forum. There are links to good info about fibro and you will learn a lot there. Good links to start with are called Symptoms and A Thorough Explanation of Fibromyalgia. Another great one is called Doctors Respond to New York Times Article. You might print this off and share it with your doctor.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. Don't hesitate to ask questions because we are here to help you. Hope to hear more from you soon.
