I am Marilyn from the state of Washington and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 12 years ago. To add to the fun, a antibiotic resistant infection left me with post-surgical pain. Other than that, aging has been a bucket of giggles.

My drs thought I had fibromyalgia and myofascial pain for over 40 years before I finally had an MRI ---now I know chronic pain from the cyst in my spinal cord. Turning 70 has not been my best year!!

Hi, Marilyn @marilyn624. Seeing a pain specialist was the best decision I made in my search for relief from peripheral neuropathy pain. Are there medications you can take that have helped?
