The rheumy I went to (referred by student health since they couldn't figure out what was going on) told me I couldn't have fibro because I wasn't depressed and because I was sleeping through the night (though I was waking up feeling like I'd been run over by a Mack truck!). I never went back!
Have you been able to try the magnesium/malic acid supplement yet? That might help with the muscle pain some. And I agree that the swelling IS NOT fibro related, it's something else. Grrrr, so sorry you have to go through this cr@p, Michelle dear!!!
