I have just counted the weeks waiting for my neurology appointment after discharge from hospital last September, it's actually 36 weeks. I had a letter stating I would be seen in clinic in due course. At that time they knew of my moderate slipped disc and Radiculopathy and chronic neurogenic changes in right vastus medialis but wouldn't have known about my fibromyalgia diagnosis and now my low speed rta with lorry and falling onto my face ,( again.) I have a documented 3/5 strength in my right leg so it explains along with the pregabalin/amtripuline that I am now at risk of falling in my updated medical records. I am beginning to think before fibromyalgia came along doctor would look at medical records and be more interested at sorting you out. I definitely miss pre fibromyalgia that part where doctors were on your case, actively trying to find out the cause. When there's a fibromyalgia diagnosis on your medical records that seems to cover everything and you feel like all the other bits going wrong are forgotten about.
It's vastly different pre fibromyalgia diagnosis and post, especially when waiting to hear from hospital departments......
Good luck to everyone dealing with other problems along with fibromyalgia.
I am mourning the loss of the old me as it seemed much quicker and easier to sort me out before the fibromyalgia reared it's ugly head...
Best wishes to everyone, I hope today is a good one,
