Today...

Well, I saw the rheumatologist this morning. She did a few in office tests, asked questions, etc. The standard stuff.

She's saying Fibromyalgia. She wants me to start taking 500mg of tylenol twice daily, go back on my thyroid medicine at a very low dosage, and gave me some muscle stretching exercises to do during the day (starting with just 5 minutes daily). I have to go have bloodwork done this week. Then I go back to see her in a month. She's pretty straight forward... and to the point. So we'll see how this all helps in a month for sure.

Aside from that...I'm kinda relieved that's what it is and is not Lupus. She didn't say why she "ruled out" lupus. Maybe now I can begin to get my life back!!
