Hi January! They say that 1/3rd of people with Lupus have Fibro, and basically my pain is always here and just more enhanced with fibro triggers. Like, with fibro, my body is more stiff in the morning and takes me an hour or so to get out of bed, I shower, lay back down. There is a whole routine I do to help the fibro pain. My actual teeth hurt from fibro,.

Today I'm dealing with terrible neck pain... I got a very small bug bite on the right side of my neck .. and now the whole thing, and all the muscles ach, on my neck, shoulders, lower back. It's stiff and uncomfortable.. the bug bite is basically gone as well... Ice, heat.. ice.. heat.. alternated....

Hope your doctor appointment went well today!! and cast.. yikes.. The swelling, do you have hypermoblitiy? Lots with CFS/ Fibro/ Lupus, seem to have this.. it causes pain and sprains then the average person.
