I am a retired Brit living in France. I have suffered a number of symptoms for a few years and have done the rounds visiting various consultants for each individual symptom. Nothing seemed to show apart from a bit of arthritis in my knees and depression.
I put all my symptoms into Google thinking “all these things can’t possibly be a thing” but fibromyalgia popped up. It appears that tick all the boxes!
Shocked to discover this, I contacted a friend who I knew had been diagnosed a couple of months ago. After talking to her I am sure that I need to return to my GP and ask to be referred to a pain specialist. She has been helped so much with anti epilepsy treatment and anti depressants.
I am looking forward to learning and sharing with you all
