Be happy that it was wrong. Don't be like some people suing and such.

Actually, I have been misdiagnosed as having Fibrtomyalgia when I know it's somethiong else.

I do not mean to insult anyone who does have Fibro. What I am dealing with, however, is the unwillingness of Rheumatologists to take the time if the signs aren't readily apparent. It is frustrating and humiliating. I'm treated like a hypochondriac.

If you feel you've been misdiagnosed, find another doctor, or work with your current one to run some tests. Hopefully something will show up.

Good luck!
