Misdiagnosed with Fibromyalgia for Months

After fighting to get treated and viewed correctly by my doctor, I finally have an answer other than fibromyalgia. I had a body bone scan done requested by myself to my insurance, and it came back with oestoarthritis in my feet, ankles, knees, hips, spine, neck, shoulders, and elbows. I just can’t believe how I would have gone untreated for months more without this. Please please listen to your body, you know when something is wrong. Now they are looking back on X-rays and seeing I was misdiagnosed. Now spine disease is a worry. Keep fighting for treatment because this could be your reality too.
