any links between fibro and bp? Since you have a definite dx and Amanda and I have been told it is fibro, just wondering if there is some sort of link betwee the two.
Glad you are finally going to get some relief. Hope it helps soon.

Missy,
I can't remember the exact words...but I do know that both my pdoc and the pdocs that dxed me with fibro in the hospital told me there was a link to fibro and depression/BP, but I have no other details. I also know I was told that stress (and my BP episodes) will cause my fibro to flare. So go figure. Not much help, I know...sorry. Like right now, for the last month, I have had an amazing amout of pain in my legs and my knuckles which is where my fibro presents. I am not on pain meds yet, but have been offered them. I just don't want to go there yet until I just absolutely have to.
Hugs,
Keli
Thanks for the info. I had no idea that you were dx with fibro too. How are you feeling?

Missy,
I've never heard of connection with BP, but there is definitely a link between fibro and depression, so it stands to reason that it would at least affect that aspect of BP.
