I have been diagnosed with this last year and only getting worse and trying to reach out to others that are experiencing this so that I can have better understanding of how to treat different conditions, best doctors to see and someone to talk to.

Thank you and apologize if I might have gotten the wrong place to post this and again appreciate any and all information as you all have helped so much in the past.
Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I was diagnosed about 3 years ago with RA and Fibromyalgia and the pain was getting worse and worse. My wonderful doctor (internal med) has tried every remedy including therapy. The side effects of some of the drugs were totally intolerable. The good news! Since quality of life is so important at my age, we have developed a daily dose of 5mg Prednisone which keeps me going all day. I consider it my miracle drug. Side effects are minimal since its such a lose dose.
Good luck!!
