@briarrose could you have fibromyalgia ?

It sounds like it to me. I have painful spots all over my body. Whenever someone touches my spine, shoulders, arms, legs…everywhere it is extremely painful.
I have had fibromyalgia for many years, and have never found any solutions.

Yes, I certainly believe I do SusanEllen66!
However I never took the time to get diagnosed, just lived with it.
So my question...how does one even get a diagnosis of fibromyalgia?
And I am reading, really no solutions...except maybe massages, if one can stand them?
Don't know.
Also, aren't there a lot of co-existing health ailments with fibromyalgia?
What comes to my mind is severe anxiety and PTSD. And I have suffer from both.
On medications, of course, but there is no magic bullet for these disorders especially when severe and life-long.
