Hi, it is so helpful to know that I am not the only one suffering with all the issues, I was diagnosed 10 years ago after years of going to the doctors complaining of different symptoms . Luckily I had a new doctor who said he would have diagnosed me years ago, my condition is getting worse and don’t think people have any understanding how debilitating fibromyalgia is, I have even had comments that it’s a made up condition doctors use when they don’t know what is wrong with you,which is not helpful. It’s nice that I can see others who do know what I’m going through.

Hi @Michele W Welcome to the forums 
I'm pleased you have come here, as, like me, I'm sure you will find the support , the understanding, and especially, the lack of criticism, very nurturing in so many ways.
I've found it has lowered a lot of stress just knowing I'm not alone.
Again, welcome
I honestly believe everyone on these forums says exactly that !!!

Welcome Michele,
think a lot of us here have had fibromyalgia a lot longer than when where finally diagnosed.
I have managed well for many years but now I am finding it extremely difficult even with all the meds, supplements, excerzize and e everything else trying.
Personally for me with my spinal issues as well. The older I get the harder it is to get some relief.
Just grateful others know how we hard this is. As I don't see.ly talk to many folks about this because my experience before is
I feel for you.
I am lucky on this as I have some awesome friends , wonderful osteopath who would drop anything to help me.
But get totally nothing from H
Oh I am over this saying. The first time I heard that it was a shock.
The last pain specialist that said “we can train your brain to not send pain signals
”.Boy did I see red.
I asked him has he got chronic pain? He said no!
I said it’s not my brain that’s in pain , I gave him my full list of problems.
I asked how the brain is going to relieve my spinal stenosis, is the brain going to stop
The facet arthropathy ect ect
It’s a crock all right, just giving people jobs no help to me.
