@crewsr Hi. Im 67 years old now. I had many ear infections as a child. In my late 20’s I started getting chronic odd conditions: horrific eye pain on upper lids/eyeball, went to many specialists, homeopathic doctors, unknown origin; had chronic sinus infections (I took antibiotics for 1 year), had sinus scans etc, reason unknown, TMJ )jaw and facial bone in constant pain, chronic migraines up to 25 days per month; chronic diarrhea since childhood; depression, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pelvic pain, unknown origin, many kidney stones 4 (lithotripsies), gallstones/gall bladder removed, then chronic neck pain, then chronic shoulder pain interstitial cystitis (I’m having that again right now), and then finally hit with pain everywhere, feet, knees, legs, arms. The worse in recent years was hip, thigh and sides of legs (nerve pain, horrible), I’m sure I don’t remember all the conditions I struggled with. Had difficulty walking and had to crawl up stairs (we lived in a town house and bedrooms were upstairs). Was tested for everything, doctors were thinking muscular dystrophy. Nothing. Diagnosed with fibromyalgia by process of elimination. I worked stressful/rewarding job throughout this and raised 2 boys on my own. But eventually had to retire early. Still I was very active and social before I had to retire, until I just couldn’t anymore. Fatigue. My life changed completely. Sorry it’s so long. My pain now jumps around so it’s not all over and it could be worse. Still I know others have it much worse and I pray for all that have this thing in any capacity. At least at this point I have good days and bad days. And am grateful for the good days. Are you in pain all day, everyday?
