@bevcalvil, we often have to be our best - and sometimes only- advocates. Another “problem” with fibromyalgia is that not everyone has the same symptoms or level of them. It could be that I’ve had it so long but I tend to “ignore” much of what other people find debilitating. Things like the constant pain or discomfort or being tired a lot. My best friend was diagnosed much more presently and it has kicked her a**. Me, however, I’ve dearly with it for decades and for almost have that time I self medicated. That’s how I know that pain killers and other mind and mood altering drugs bring relief, but they have their own problems for this addict in recovery. It’s a trade off. I deal with what I can and the rest is gonna happen whether I accept it or not.

@bevcalvil my doctor never speaks of it , she told me to do whatever Mayo clinic says , it's sad but fine with me as I feel Mayo is the best
