Hi,

Just thought you could read about FIBROMYALGIA. I have it and have similar symptoms to you. Connective Tissue condition and sometime associated with autoimmune diseases. I am also under investigation for MS/Autoimmune disease (for last 18 months). Fibromyalgia is diagnosed by a Rheumatologist and with treatment it can be very well maintained. The treatment makes you more tired for the first month but after that things really look up. I am also on IV steriods when I have Optic Neuritis flare up (I have had this since Nov 2009, but it all started in my left foot in July 2008. Another one to check out is VASCULITIS. This is cover by your Neurologist, and sounds like alot of the peoples comments in the forum. I have a great Team in Sydney and I hope you do too. : )
Hope this helps. Kylie, Sydney Australia
