Am I the only one that does not have flares but daily ongoing pain?

Hi,
I was diagnosed with FM when I was in my late twenties or so...I'm 84 now and yes, you might now have a chronic condition and not just FM. This is just me, now. I have no way of knowing what's going on with you, but I do believe my FM slowly became Neuropathy as I got older. Check out those threads here. Maybe a Mod might jump in and put up a few threads for you. But, you might ask your Doctor if that could be what's going on.
Good Luck

Hi, thanks for your post. What do you mean by a chronic condition? I have a lot of other chronic conditions but as far as Fibro is concerned isn't it a chronic condition also? Although it is considered chronic most people have flares. But I think it is still considered a chronic illness. So, do you mean after you have Fibro for a while it can become an everyday thing and be chronic in that sense? I would say I hope not but it's already been that way for me. And when I was diagnosed in 2001 when I was 24 it was already an everyday condition with no flares. I would get new symptoms that came along and worsening pain, but it was still every day even then. You have had Fibro for a while. Is it every day for you? And if so, has it always been or is that new for you as you got older? Is anything better now that you are 84?
