Is this common to fibro? I've had fibro for decades but have never been officially diagnosed, except a naturopath once told me he thought I had it due to pain when certain areas on my body were pressed. I get all over body pain, but have been able to control this to a certain extent by not eating high oxalate foods. Fatigue is also frequent. Now though, my arms and legs feel weak and it can be a challenge to stay on my feet for long periods. Fortunately I am retired and no longer work. Another symptom that has developed is eye pain. I'm trying not to be paranoid and am guessing that these new symptoms can be put down to fibromyalgia. It's interesting to read online that it doesn't get worse with age, but in my opinion, it does. Any thoughts?
