Do you have a chronic illness worse than FM?

My fibromyalgia was caused by a genetic condition called ehlers danlos and I ended up with the trifecta eds pots and mast cell activation

I've been told that I don't have lupus as of now, but that I'm susceptible to developing it. my rheumatologist is keeping a close eye on it, so who knows

I've been tested for every autoimmune issue. I DO have Celiac disease (diagnosed 10 years before I started having FM symptoms) and having an autoimmune disease makes you 25% more likely to have another one later on. So it's possible that IF FM isn't an autoimmune issue I might have one and it was just undetectable...

I'm pretty well convinced fibromyalgia is an autoimmune disorder even though medical field says differently

Yes and getting a doctor to take me serious is a joke, so now I'm hurting real bad and over the counter meds dont work and can't.get to doctors until the 17 th of june

I was being tested for lupus it was positive once it’s a hard disease to pinpoint as of now we are thinking it more spine stuff I have AS

This is a big fear of mine. I have been diagnose since 2002 and treatments that worked in the past no longer work - so I wonder if I need to be re-evaluated to see if something has change.

I just learned that a lot of mine is actually caused by a spinal deformity! Hopefully when I fix that, most of my symptoms will go away. Don’t stop looking for answers!

I have gone to so many doctors because I'm not satisfied with that diagnosis. I was referred to a rheumatologist. She was amazing and tested me for a whole panel of autoimmune disorders. I'm negative lol. Next step is genetic disorder testing.

I wonder that all the time. It is a constant fear of mine. I'm even thinking of changing doctors to get "re-diagnosed"
