Constant Pain, not lupus! HELP!!!?


I have been in constant pain for almost a year now. I was in the hospital in January and February of this year, and I had the 5th disease (or Parvo, what ever you want to call it). I was on Prednisone for 3 months, and I am still hurting. They put me back on the steroid, but it actually made it worse. From the base of my skull, down behind my ears, down my neck to my shoulders and all the way to my hips, I hurt. My skin and my joints hurt. They tested me for Lupus, and for Rheumatoid Arthritis, and they both came back negative. I am only 30, and should not feel this way. I was leaning towards fibromyalsia, but I would like to talk to someone who has that. Please let me know! Thanks in advance!!!!

sounds like fibro to me. i suffered like that for 20 yrs. before i got a correct diagnosis. change doctors until you find one who knows the correct way to test you. they will feel tender points under the skin and then will know if you have that or not. i hope you don't have it.

Change doctors.

You are sick because you are sick, not because you are crazy. You deserve to be taken seriously.

Do not diagnose yourself. The surest way to get a doctor to blow you off is for you to come in their and tell them what you THINK you have. Simple describe the symtpoms clearly and accurately and let the doctor make the diagnosis.

I suggest you begin keeping a symptom journal. This will be very helpful.
