Finally to see my specialist

[Guest guest]

It's finally time to see the rheumatologist on the 5th! Thank you

God. According to my primary doctor I have fibromyalgia and have

tested positive for RA.

I just wondered if you all might have any reminders and hints that I

might need to remember to suggest to the doctor? Since I am newly

diagnosed, I'm not even sure what questions I should be asking. My

primary care doctor has me on Cymbalta (for depression), Mobic, and

Vicodin as needed. She has told me that I am not to take any

ibuprofen or tylenol due to some elevated liver enzyme tests. I've

only been on Mobic about 2 weeks and was given that with Ultraset,

however the ultraset made me very ill.

So I was just checking to see if any of you might let me know what

questions that I need to ask? Or any advice at all? The pain is

bad, but the total exhaustion and lack of sleep is terribly

frustrating too. It's making functioning almost impossible.

Thanks and God Bless,

Dalena
