I've had arthiritis in most joints since I was 10, I'm now 30. I've been suffering with other symtoms lately, including severe tiredness, muscle pain, insomnia and very severe bruising, pain and swelling on my knees, wrists, elbows and ankles. I've had tests with my Reumatology consultant and he said I also have Fibromyalgia. I don't know a great deal about this, does anyone else have this; I'd love a bit of advice on how to find relief. Many thanks.

This is a decent site to learn more about Fibromyalgia.

It is a complicated diagnosed problem and it is still being researched for possible cures.
I had this, but I also had some major bone problems associated with osteoporosis and after my surgeons fixed the problems, the fibromyalgia just seem to disappear. Others are not quite so lucky.

Yes I have RA and Fibro. Like Arthritis their is no cure for Fibro either. Many things can help and their are many good articles on the Internet as well as support groups.
