A member asked:
I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia but am being treated for lupus, how come?

Fibromyalgia: You are probably being treated by a rheumatologist who is more aware of lupus issues. Lupus has some similarities but is not the same disorder. You should see a physician well versed in the evaluation and treatment of fibromyalgia.
