The visit to my internist yesterday went so fast my head almost spun. I described the pain, listing the various adjectives for different parts of the body. He manipulated a couple of my joints and sprung into action.
This morning I go in for blood work. He'll test for vitamin deficiencies, check my lipid profile, C-reactive protein (this tells about inflammation), and also look for any signs that the pain might be caused by my medications. We should have results next week.
If all of that checks out, then we'll explore the possibility of an inflammatory condition such as arthritis.
Fibromyalgia? "That's just a word used to describe anyone that has a lot of pain all over."
