Fibro has been mentioned. Rarely by someone who actually wanted to treat me for it, ironically. It was used as a brush off. I asked my neuro and pain doc about Fibro and they both told me my symptoms don't fit. It does run in my family so it may be a contributing factor.

I was diagnosed at Mayo with fibro about five years ago and attended a two day class. Although you learn a number of mind body skills (as I am a licensed clinical social worker, I was already using many of them), there was limited information for me in regard to the help they could provide. They would additionally offer Lyrica (I think, but I was not interested); but I did follow up with a sleep study (got results indicating a sleep disorder and got great help there ) and did attend therapy for myself for a short time, as the therapist assured me I was in a good emotional state given my health and work challenges.
