Anyone with MS and Fibro?

[sarahw244]

Hello.  I was wondering if there is anyone here who has a dx of both fibro and MS.  If so, could you let me know and would it be possible if I sent you a PM?  I have some questions.  I suppose I could just throw them on the forum, but I am afraid that it could get quite lengthy.

I did look back on the search the forum thingy, but didn't find exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks,
Sarah

Hi Sarah.  As Sumana stated, I have a dual diagnosis of fibro and MS.  I'll be glad to talk with you.  I'm not always able to tell the which disorder is causing what symptom myself.  

For a certainty I have MS.  I was dx fibro before my MS diagnosis and my neuro's try to help with the fibro.  The fibro is a near constant with flares. Mostly fatigue and flu-like muscle pain.

I'll help if I can.

Thanks everyone for your replies.  I guess I am having a hard time knowing what symptoms are coming from where.  I was told the some of the treatments are different for similar symptoms; for example muscle spasms.

I haven't seen a neuro in about 8 months or so, so I may need to find one to sort all this out.  Who knows, my diagnosis might not even stick.

Thanks again everyone,
Sarah

Oh, this is too funny.  I am laughing inside!!  I quickly read your question remembering a poster that had talked about it..named sarah.  So I looked thru the search pages and up came YOUR name...of course not even bothering to look at the OP's name....lol

So I referred YOU to  YOU.....laughing

Enjoy the fun of me not thinking...lol

Hi Sarah, I have both MS and Fibromyalgia. I had the fibro long before the diagnosis of MS, and its not a fun journey. PM me is you would like to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer them for you. :) Hang in there.
