Hi Dee, that is my understanding also, that Fibro affects the soft tissues.

I’ve had joint pain (without much in the way of redness, heat, and swelling)

for many years along with the Fibro, and thought it was an ME symptom, it is

also listed as that. But a Rheumie recently told me that I had a

“non-specific inflammatory arthritis” (more common than you might think),

which had been diagnosed as usual 7-10 years too LATE he said…interesting

hey? So I do think us types should be checked for the various kinds of

arthritis too. Aylwin xox
