    Diagnosed with fm after age 60

    Is there anyone else who was a "senior" when diagnosed with fibromyalgia? If so, what are you doing as far as treatment. I've tried and quit lyrica. I'm afraid to start cymbalta. I am seeing a psychologist who has fibro herself and she has gotten me into a physical therapy program starting next...
