Hi All

Thank you for accepting me on this support page. I was diagnosed a couple of days ago by my GP, don't know yet if its primary or secondary. I have been diagnosed with fibro, high blood pressure, underactive thyroid, gastritis and bronchitis. Just wondering if any one has the above conditions also.

I been having these symptoms for about 4yrs, I am relieved to have dx but also overwhelmed. Because of all my visit to GP they also diagnosed me with somatoform disorder but I always disputed this. The usual its all in your head!

I am looking forward to reading the discussion on here. Thank you again

Ann

The only thing I have the same as you is high blood pressure. However, I have also gone through for years doctors saying it's all in my head even though my feet and legs are red and hot when I see them.
