Sorry everyone....
#1
A lot has been going on lately. We just returned from the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fl. My wife has been having autoimmune symptoms for 2 yrs so after numerous local doctors we went to the best. After numerous tests, she has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. We are just so glad to have an answer & that it's not autoimmune disease. Fibromyalgia is a non life-threatening condition. There is no way to test for it they have to test to rule out everything else. Don't know much about it, but we are learning & are going to try different medications along with lifestyle changes to combat the symptoms. They are pain around the joint/pain areas, extreme fatigue & occasional migraine. My wife is a determined, focused woman so her & I will press on. Thanks for your thoughts and/or prayers as we cope & move forward!!!

Good luck Eddie.
You don't have to apologize.
She puts up with you, so this can't be that hard for her.
Haha, sorry.
But seriously, good luck.

I always thought Fibromyalgia what what they diagnosed you with when they had no clue what was wrong with you. I tried meds (lyrica) for that a few years ago for extreme fatigue and headaches.

It's good to hear they have an idea and how to treat her. That must be a great relief. I wish you luck Eddie.

Good luck to you and your family Eddie. My mom had Fibromyalgia and, while she occasionally gets migraines and joint pain, in retirement, she leads a more active and busy life than she did when she was working. Hopefully it will be the same for your wife.
