36yo male. I've been in pain since 12/18/2014. I know the exact day my life changed.
Finally, after 9+ months of endless doctors and tireless irradiation of my body, I was given a Fibro diagnosis. At first, I really didn't want to accept it; I wanted a diagnosis that included a known fix. After a lot of research, I've finally accepted that the diagnosis fits everything I've experienced.
The hardest part for me right now isn't the pain, it's the questions of what the future holds for me and my family (married with 2 daughters). I am the sole income provider and have been for basically the entire duration of our 18 year marriage. I like the role and have been successful at it, holding a very good job with a fast growing company. I'm already struggling at work; missing time for appointments and for high pain days, and have difficulty with memory, concentration and such. I'm really concerned about my ability to continue at a high level in a stressful environment.
Anyway, I'm here. I hurt everywhere. Get used to it.
