Sara Kingston: My Diagnosis Story
HEALTHJOURNEYS

What symptoms led up to your diagnosis?

Reoccuring tennis elbow in both arms, neck and wrist pain.  

What tests did your doctor do, and what was this experience like?

Was referred to a rheumatologist who didn't believe FM existed. Blood test done. My own doctor was very good but eventually saw another rheumatologist in a different hospital who was brilliant.

Upon learning about your diagnosis- what happened next?

Not much really, given lots of different tablets and basically left to get on with it, told no cure and not really any help.  Given meds for pain and to help with sleep.
