Would welcome any fibromyalgia references you have.

1. You're going to have to narrow that down a bit

Until then, start here: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/fibromyalgia/basics/definition/con-20019243

2. I don't know how to narrow it down, Warpy.

My doctor just referred me to a rheumatologist on Friday. I can't get in until October 21.

I'm gathering information about fibromyalgia in general.

Thanks for the link.

3. Keep a diary from now until then- be specific

about any pain that kept you from doing normal activities or from sleeping.For example - you avoided going to grocery store because of walking, you had trouble peeling potatoes etc. I hope your appointment goes well.

4. Thanks, hedgehog.

That's a very good suggestion. I'm not good at following through with keeping any kind of diary, but realizing its potential benefit when I finally do see the rheumatologist, I'm going to do my damnedest.
