Diagnosis of the two conditions was confirmed by two different rheumatologists. Both told me it was unusual but not impossible.

Yeah, and weirdly enough I find the fibromalgia worse then the ra, because ra not always in flares, but with the fibromalgia I have pain daily and restricts me more. A day of cleaning yesterday, had me laid up in bed today

I have ra since I was five and about twenty years later was told I had fibromalgia. My rheumatologist told me because I have an autoimmune disorder it can lead other problems. Problems like raynauds disorder and so on.This is life. You do the best you can.

It is very common that people with ra later get fibromalgia, told by my rheumatologist

I have both it is not good. I am trying to navigate now between the 2. It's real bad when they flare together ❤️. Hope your day is great
