Hi, Beth and Christie!!

How are you both? Beth, I agree with Christie that your symptoms sound like they could be fibro. My GP diagnosed it for me and prescribed the right meds and handles all the follow-ups. He's really nice and really helpful. I feel MUCH better than when I first got sick. So I would second what Christie said about asking your doctor.

I also saw a rheumatologist but that was just for insurance purposes to confirm the diagnosis. He was a jerk! So if your GP is good you don't need a rheumatologist unless your GP wants to double check his/her diagnosis.

Good luck, sweetie.
