I have OA. In fact I'm group leader over at the arthritis forum. I also have other stuff that causes pain like prolapsed uterus, disc degenerative disease, degeneration of other bones like my sternum and possibly my knee, SI joint dysfunction. I also have alot of headaches and other "junk". Loads of fun huh? Amy~ “When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.” ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

It was bad enough to know I was falling apart w/out adding Fibro onto it all. 
The only encouragement I can give you is that I think my surgery for complete hysterectomy/ovary removal really cranked up my Fibro. Get rid of one problem, gain another?
