I have had SLE (lupus) for 1 year now and have been treated with cellcept and prednisone.
At my last Dr. appt., my doctor diagnosed me with fibromyalgia.
She did no tests or anything. How does she know?
I played football for 6 years(many injuries)–I know i have a high pain tolerance.
****She said that because my joints were not swollen, I must be amplifying the pain!!***–(amplified pain is the definition of fibromyalgia-you interpret pain as being worse than a normal person)

I am really angry that my doctor would tell me that I’m just complaining–she’s always telling me to tell her all my symptoms.

IS SHE CORRECT TO GIVE ME THIS NEW DIAGNOSIS ON TOP OF MY PREVIOUS DIAGNOSIS OF LUPUS???????
