Re: New to group/Jeanne from Angie in AZ

[Guest guest]

Thank you for the welcome Jeanne. I did notice there is another Angie here. The

doctor that diagnosed me called it Arthralgia. When she told me about it, I

thought great. It's not enought to have Arthritis. I have to have something else

to go along with it.

Re: New to group

Hi Angie - Welcome to the FaMily. Never heard of combing arthritis with FM to

call it Arthralgia. I think almost all of us have some arthritis especially when

we get older along with our FM. I hope you find it comforting to be in our group

and realize that there are many, many people just like you who also suffer every

day. Take care.

BTW, we have another Angie, so you might want to use a last initial or your

location so we can tell you apart.

Hi. My name is Angie. I was diagnosed with arthralgia (arthritis and

fibromyalgia) 10 years ago. It got really bad 6 years ago and I had to quit

working. I then found out I had lupus and chronic fatiuge. I also suffer severe

recurring depression. I feel that if the pain and fatigue

were gone, I wouldn't have depression. I am currently going to a group for

moods. It helps me with solutions for dealing with my moods and helps me get out

of the house.

I looked up the definition of Arthralgia and it is really not a

combination of fibromyalgia and arthritis. According to the medical

dictionary arthralgia means: Pain in the joints. There are many

possible causes of pain in a joint. The Greek " algos " means " pain. "

Fibromyalgia pain is more located in the muscles.

So it sounds like a fancy name for arthritis, or maybe a more constant joint

pain than an arthritis that comes and goes? Just another term to confuse us

all. LOL!
