I was just diagnosed Jan. 31 after 4 months of doctor visits/tests/MRIs, etc. As a man with fibro, I'm feeling a little on the outside, but my wife also has fibro (and lupus), so I have been able to compare symptoms with her and discuss what helps the pain and what aggravates it. Still trying to deal with the thought that this is chronic and not likely to be reversed unless a cure is found, but I'm also relieved that it's not one of the other conditions the doctors were testing for.
