Hi, im new on here too. Ive been diagnosed for almost 2 yrs now but have had fibro pain since i was 9 yrs old, and the doctors took along time to find out. I never even heard of fibromyalgia till my rheumatologist said that the first time i seen him, i was so shocked and scared. The first thing i did was looked it up on google, i couldnt believe what i was reading about it.

How long have u had the pains of fibro? What did u do when u find out ur illness?

i have had since childhood and was always told it was phsoratic arthritous .but was diagnosed about 2 year ago...and yes your right i thought it was something they made up..now ive come to terms with it i try and live each day as it is ..as you know it all depends on how much sleep it allows you to have...and at present im suffering with my feet terribly both in bed and out i can hardley walk with the pain..as like everyone else we all deal with it differently...but sometimes i do ask why me

I live in Northern Ontario and finally found a doc that you should try and see. Dr. Collins, Orillia, Ontario, Canada. For me there are 3 big issues that I am trying to cope with. 1. Depression 2. Lack of sleep 3. Pain.
No magic answers but seeing this doctor was soothing. Well worth the long travel to see him.

It was difficult here to find a good doctor too. You have to be relentless
