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.

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.

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.
