Invisible illness how do you cope?

Has your Dr ever ruled out fibromyalgia? I am over 80 and 30 years ago, I hurt all over except my left ankle. I went to a rheumatologist and carried all my test results. He checked me for triger points with his hands and told me you have fibromyalgia. There is no blood test for it.
With help with flare ups, I am very active and not in pain often. Please don't give up! Keep searching.

@betty41 There is now a blood test for fibromyalgia. The FM/a blood test is now used to positively diagnose fibromyalgia. The FM/a is relatively new, it has been used for about 10-12 years. So, yes, 30 years ago it was not testable but now it is. If curious, just google it.
