Very, I went back to my primary. Talk with him. He is now sending me to neurologist to look into ms and post covid syndrome. My symptoms all started after I had covid.

Ideally, fibro is diagnosed after everything else is ruled out…but obvs we can’t go through testing for everything that might be going on, so I definitely get anxiety about whether we missed/didn’t test something serious & I’m gonna find out too late.

Frogsrlife,my problem is that they haven't done any testing on me at all about my pain and joint instability.😥 my pcp just put fibro on me and I had to do all the legwork to find out I should be followed by a rheumatologist even just with fibro.

They are not going to do a brain mri for ms if other things don’t fit, it’s to expensive of a test. He did do all the testing they normally do prior to diagnosis fibromyalgia. I just felt with my leg involvement, I wanted more testing

As simple as when I saw the list of Covid symptoms I was like “well crap I’ll never know if I have it or not because half of those symptoms I have on a daily”

No not that I have covid now, the effects of having covid. They are finding that having covid has left people with lasting effects

I believe I had covid in early 2020 before it broke out in the states and testing wasn't really available. I described it as the worst flu of my life. Now I have been dealing with fibro for at least 8 years of my life (I'm 28 currently).. Let me say that these past two years my fibro has been the worse its ever been and I wonder if being sick with what I believe was covid is the culprit for my increasingly bad health.
