anyone know of any links between chronic pain conditions such as fibro and arthritis and KC?
I might be clutching at straws and stabbing in the dark, but for some reason when my fibro and or arthritis are flaring my KC bothers me a lot more.
Fibro n arthritis were dx way back in my early teens and the KC 2009.

Re: Fibro, Arthritis, KC
There is a research paper suggesting a link with rheumatoid arthritis
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20802320
though nothing as far as I know to link with osteoarthritis or fibromyalgia.
But it wouldn't be surprising if everything seemed worse when you're suffering chronic pain. I hope the flare up goes soon.

Cheers Anne, this flare has been lingering to different degrees since before Easter so getting a bit fed up now
