Your Picture -

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Your picture didn't come through with your message. Try adding it

to the photos section at the group's website. I noticed there are a

lot of nice pictures there. I'll try to get one of mine posted

there too. Otherwise, you could send it to my yahoo address.

So, you are a dog lady... I love dogs - we have a White Minni

Schnauzer " Rugger " He is our baby.

My doctor tells me that people with fibromyalgia are prone to

tendinitis (my shoulders bother me at times) This is because the

muscles are weakened the tendons can't take the added stress and

flare up.

I think my hip problems (yup I have them too) are due to arthritis

and wear and tear. It is different than my fibromyalgia pain.

Yes, I think we need to see our doctors and let them rule out

everything else. I saw my Primary Care Doctor today and she got me

an appointment with a rheumatologist whom I hope can verify my FMS

and get me on a program of medication that I can live with.

I'm pushing myself a little more to see how my hip reacts.

> I think it was tendonitis as its been improving since last week (I

had this same problem in my knee last year, and it took 6 months to

heal--the most pain being experienced at the end of six months!).

> It's so nice to know that the scary possibility of a tumor or

joint wear was not proved out.
