penn, Hi! Fibromyalgia is soreness and pain all over with fatigue. You can hurt anywhere. You may have
energy for 1-2 hours and then crash. Fibro is a connective tissue disease and now they are saying it is an
autoimmune disease. Fibro has sisters (LOL) which include Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Thyroid Disease, and
Osteoarthritis and Sojgren's. I have Fibro and 3 of the others listed. I also have Raynaud's Disease. Usually if you have one autoimmune disease, you will have another one.

You look fine, but, you hurt like the dickens. I have had it for 30 years this June. I cannot tolerate the
usual meds prescribed for it so the only think I take occasionally is Flexeril 5 mg (muscle relaxant), soak in
Epsom Salts and use Volater Gel for arthritis which is over the counter and a ton of supplements.

Praying for you and I empathize. Keep me posted on your progress.

Are you deemed disable? I haven't been able to find a med that works for me. I wondered about others with the diagnosis "has it been complicated finding a proper treatment?" Have you tried pt? I have been trying somatic movements exercise.
