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.

@briarrose all my doctors do is press on tender spots. If you wince on cry out OUCH! then you are diagnosed with it.

No cure, but sometimes pain relievers help.

@briarrose Fibromyalgia is a neurological disorder
