Guest guest Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 Hi. My name is . I'm 32 years old & was diagnosed with fibromyalgia last week. At age 25, after the birth of my first child, I was diagnosed with CFS which went on for about 2 years, until I became pregnant. The symptoms did not return after the birth. I am still not sure about the diagnosis because, having suffered from CFS in the past, I feel that I have a pretty good idea of what fatigue is & I would not describe that as one of my symptoms. This also all started as a flare-up (pain in one elbow that spread to the other and then to my whole body) and I don't know if that's typical or not. I went to a rheumatologist who tested a bunch of points & based his diagnosis on that. He prescribed Elatrolet, which I took only once -- that *did* make me tired & now I'm back to being completely unmedicated & feel like my doctor doesn't really think anything is wrong. Any advice will be appreciated!!! Arik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
