Dear ellyons87,
Unfortunately you are not alone and there are more questions than answers. I am seventy two was diagnosed about forty years ago and up until two years ago I was able to smile and pretend I was fine most of the time.Then I got a virus which was bad enough to go to the emergency room.Gradually I started with tingling and drenching sweats,electric shock pain-basically I now have body pain and burning from the bottoms of my feet to the hair on my head.It’s the body from hell. I have to laugh when the doctor asks if I am depressed.Fibromyalgia is not nice,.Thank God that research is being done so that possibly my grandchildren may fair better with new treatments.

@daliea Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!

Yep, there are many of us long-time fibro patients here on Connect, and we share similar experiences like you spoke about. Here is more current discussion in our forum you might want to take a look at: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/fibromyalgia-is-it-an-autoimmune-disease/
And here is what Mayo Clinic has to say about fibromyalgia: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/fibromyalgia/symptoms-causes/syc-20354780

I am interested to hear how you have managed over these long years with fibromyalgia. What were your go-to remedies, how was your life affected before the virus you got two years ago? And you're so right! Fibro is not nice.
