Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 This is an older term I believe to describe fibromyalgia. I could be wrong. But I just looked it up on google also. I have heard that years ago the term fibromyalgia did not exist, it was then called myositis or fibromyositis. hugs, Debra V. evilcateyes911 wrote: I read your post and I was wondering what is the difference between fibromyalgia and fibromyoitis I don't know the difference but if the myoitis is worse, then Please don't let me find out first hand!!! nancy -- In Fibromyalgia_Support_Group , Angie wrote: > > Marcia, > Don't get me wrong. Fibro has kicked my butt. I had finally gotten so I could manage the Lupus pretty well and then I had surgery and subsequent infections; and then the Fibro set in and it has kicked my butt. No forcing myself through the day anymore. That's why I can't work anymore; I don't have much 'work time' before I have to have 'rest time'. If my stupid job would just let me take those rest periods I might still be able to function - but you know how that goes. > > So I try really hard to set goals and get things done each day - but very often they take me ten times longer to get them done. I have learned an important lesson on resting. Like Nike, " JUST DO IT " . When your body says rest; you have to listen. If you don't the Fibro will take you out for a week. > > While Lupus seems to make me good and sick frequently enough - its the Fibro that's got a hold on me and it won't let go. My doctor said I've got Fibromyoitis - which is chronic Fibro. Fun stuff!
