Hi Everyone,
I seem to have put myself in a cycle and not sure what to do from here. For many years I have been treated for fibro but also have alot of other symptoms not usually related. Such as, low temp, low white count, mouth sores, tachycardia and chest pain. Also, I have a reoccuring abundance of group B strept in my urine and vagina. I am just coming out of a flare of illness that has lasted about 2 1/2 months. Heres the dilemma, when I start to feel better from these severe episodes I just breath a sigh of relief and try to get back to a normal life. The only thing is I know it will come back on me. I do go to the rheumy when I am really sick but then slack off when I get somewhat better. A normal life for me is chronic pain, fatigue, IBS, raynauds,arthritis and digestive problems. As bad as all that sounds I have learned to adapt my life to it. But, when the other symptoms hit me on top of the common ones I can't seem to get an answer. Should I have a regular schedule of check-ups with rheumy whether in a flare or not? Or is just going when I am really sick enough??? Thanks for any input, Yvette
