Guest guest Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hi, My name is Pru, I am 55 yrs old & I live in Australia. I have been " homebound " with Fibromyalgia for the past 18 months & now I am being referred back to the rheumatologist for treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Apparently a blood test showed a " significant " Anti-CCP result & I have had positive RF in the past BUT not enough for a diagnosis. Anyway ... I really do need some clarification of what happens as per symptoms of RA. I had worked out that I can go pretty well here at home, without major Fibro flares, providing I don't go out at all but in the last 6 months massive fatigue is just bombing me out even without " going out " & I do notice that I may get some mild pain in my wrist joints or thumbs, around the same time. So now I am wondering if this new, added fatigue is caused by the RA & not so much the Fibro? The physician, who referred me on to the rheumie, said that he was very hesitant to recommend any medications due to my severe Fibromyalgia which includes hyper-sensitivity to most drugs - anyone else experience this & how does it work out for treatment of yr RA?
