My original rheumy thought I had Lupus, all my tests were positive for that. But then they went negative. Lupus is a cagey disease. My current rheumy has never been able to get a positive so she is sticking with fibro. All I know is that so far no regimen really works. I just live with pain, everywhere. The Lexapro is a new fix and it ain't working. Prednisone worked pretty good. I have chronic fatigue but no one seems to be able to address that. A doctor gave me provigil for that, works great on midnights but the rheumatologist was horrified.
yeah, weight gain scares the heck out of me too. Pain can't get better by adding more weight to the joints, I wouldn't think...
