Guest guest Posted October 28, 2002 Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 Hi everybody! i am new to the list and want to say thankyou for all of the information i have found in these postings. My rheumy has told me that i probably have pa but he thinks that it may also be fibromyalgia. I didn't know anything about fm until recently. I have noticed that many people have more than one diagnosis. Is this common? Is fm something that commonly goes hand and hand with pa? I have massive swelling in my knees, spine, and neck. Fatigue is crazy, unlike anything i've ever had in my life. I've done all of the nsaid's with no help and am currently taking azulfidine entabs. I have been taking them for 4 weeks but have had no relief. The only thing so far that has helped is prednisone. It doesnt just help, it takes it away totally!! My biggest scare right now is my memory. Im having a very difficult time remembering things that didnt happen very long ago. it's quite scary and difficult to talk to people about. I thought i was having early alzheimers!! Well, its nice to have other people out there that can at least relate to some of my difficulties. Im only 34 years old and some days i feel totally disabled. It's a relief to know that im not the only one!! Thanks, Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
