    It's awful when you are in so much pain and no one has an answer. I hope things get better for you. X

    At least you can understand what is wrong now took my doctor a few years to understand. Was sent to see a specialist and she diagnosed me straight away. Welcome to the group

      I am sure I had this for years mandy but doctors just blanked me until I had had enough and insisted on seeing someone. I have several health issues and felt they were fed up of me moaning on.

    Ask your rhumb for new meds now available for FM.

    Demards and Cymbalta and bio have had a great deal of success treating FM.

    keep moving and posting.

    I'm glad you know what's wrong now. It took a long time for my doctors to diagnose my fibromyalgia. It was a frustrating process.
