I've had some weird health symptoms and joint pain over the last two months (started with a terrible case of Strep 2 months ago). I saw the doctor this morning and she is running some blood tests, and says I have markers for either Rheumatoid Arthritis (I have that in my family) or Fibromyalgia. The last three days I've had such bad joint pain I couldn't pick up my baby without using Advil.
Please pray that the tests are accurate? If I have to have one of these diagnoses, I would rather have the Fibro...RA is degenerative and requires some heavy duty drugs that would mean I'd have to wean my baby. 
Also, if you are dealing with either of these, I'd be grateful for a pm? I'm more than a little bit worried about how I am going to be Mom this year when some days I can't even pick up socks off the floor.
Thank you.

Oh, I'm so sorry! Yes, prayers coming. I do see how you would want it to be Fibro.

Praying here. I understand how worrisome such symptoms are when you are a mother.

Just to throw in a thought -- since you said it's been two months or so. One of my sisters experienced excruciating and debilitating arthritic symptoms, but instead of Fibro or RA, they were able to pinpoint it as a side effect of Fifth Disease or Slapped Cheek. It did go away, but it was painful. Hoping your thing could be just something simple like that.
