Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 I have seen many posts from people that have both RA and FMS. How was this diagnosed? What made the DRs take a look at both diseases? I have had many new symptoms over the past couple of months and started searching on the web. Right now I am on MTX, Bextra, Folic Acid, Prevacid, Remicaide and Vicodin for pain. Remicade started out well, but have not been able to go more than 6 weeks without it. I am starting on 600 mgm at that end of the month and the last two infusions seemed to have no effect at all. I have pain all the time and no relief in site. While searching autoimmune diseases I came across a fibro site and in reading the symptoms I find that I have more that the 11 tender points and many of the other symptoms required for diagnosis. Should I talk to my Rheumy about this or go back to square one with my PCP? If this is the case then allot of the problems I have been having make allot of sense but it is also quite depressing to add another chronic disease to RA. Wishing you all pain free days.
