Hello George, what issues and problems you have had .. I am sorry for that. If I was sitting in your shoes .. this is what I would do. I would check into :
http://www.fmcpaware.org/support-groups/browse-support-groups.html?sid=54:Support-Groups
I would tell you that if your gut feeling is that you have fibromyalgia .. not only will you find good information and support at this website .. as well as checking into the Mayo Clinic fibromyalgia website .. ONLY THOSE people can TRULY understand what you are going through!
I know this because when I was going through a divorce I had friends who had been divorced a year before .. 5 years before .. 10 years before .. they could empathize .. BUT when I couldn't sleep at 4 in the morning .. ONLY the people in my Divorce Support Group could truly understand what I was going through. THEY "got" it .. THEY were who I turned to in my time of need.
When you are thirsty in a desert .. you find an oasis .. the RIGHT support group will be your OASIS .. it is up to you to seek it out. "If it is to be .. it is up to YOU!" Find peace in your journey, Friend!

edria, I SO agree with you!<br />
<br />
Mayo puts together a team of doctors if/when needed .. until they find what<br />
is going on with a patient. I know with my husband .. he had suffered for<br />
I think 7 years with UTI's with our local doctors. They just continued to<br />
give him on 7 to 14 day antibiotics. NEVER getting to the bottom of a<br />
cause!! It wasn't until he landed up at Mayo about something ELSE .. AND<br />
walking out the door about to get into the car .. he went into SEPSIS!! A<br />
life threatening infection that goes into the blood stream!!!!!<br />
<br />
In the hospital at Mayo after a LOT of testing they found that he had an<br />
infection in his prostate .. that the prostate has poor blood circulation<br />
.. the 7-14 days antibiotics had NEVER cleared up the infection in the<br />
prostate and he nearly died from the sepsis. They then did a surgery<br />
called a TURP. I KNOW that Mayo Clinic saved my husband's life. For that<br />
I will be eternally grateful. Complex issues can be figured out by Mayo ..<br />
that is why people from all over the WORLD travel there .. out in the<br />
middle of no where! In my opinion .. whatever the effort to travel there<br />
.. GO!!<br />
<br />
Blessings on all our journeys!<br />
