@sheilagawne Hi Sheila, this is Ginger, and like the others, fibro is one of my diagnoses. It's real, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Please look after yourself best you can, be gentle on yourself, turn away from the naysayers, and tune in here. There are a lot of us "fibro warriors" here. In fact I just named my car to relate to being a warrior!
Ginger

Hi!
I'm another Fibro Warrior.
I was diagnosed over 20 years ago by a physiatrist (NOT psychiatrist).
Since then, I was diagnosed by several other docs.
One doc who got me very angry was a chiropractor.
He broke down the meaning of the word to explain the syndrome away.
I also remember watching one of the hospital/medical shows on TV.
A lady who was in a horrible flair up that she needed to go to the hospital.
Even the docs in the hospital didn't believe her and they released her.
She was back at the hospital.
After lots of research and testing, the docs changed their attitude.
You know what is said......if you can't see it, test it or feel it, it doesn't exist...........NOT!!
You are not crazy, you are not making up the pain, yes, your pain may be more bothersome on different days places.
Hold your head up, none of this is in your head.
Best of luck!
