Hi I have my first rheumatology appointment in 2 days and I was just wondering if anyone knew what to expect. My GP has said that he strongly believes I have Fibromyalgia, but has referred me to a rheumatologist to confirm. Does anyone with fibro or a similar condition know what to expect? Like tests etc.
Also, my referall letter says to bring a urine sample? Might be a silly question but is this necessary? I have had urine samples in the past done after I had symptoms and nothing showed up. If it is necessary should I bring the sample in a urine cup or can I ask for one at the appointment? Sorry I'm really nervous. Help would be appreciated greatly!
