I have had symptoms of fibromyalgia for years. 10-15. It crept up on me slowly. First was the fatigue, but I had just had a baby so they ran a bunch a blood test to see if my hormones were out of wack, etc nothing showed up so they just told me I needed to let my body recover.

I'm really struggling in trying to figure out my condition. I have chronic muscle tension, particularly around the torso, on the respiratory and neck muscles.
The muscle spasm in the diaphragm and intercoastal (rib) muscles have considerably restricted my breathing, which aggravates the...
