    Start medication before diagnosis?

I could jump out of the car without 'setting myself up' first. I could move without bracing myself. So strange. it was like my brain...

    Hello from Montreal

    I may be new to the forum but certainly not new to the pain of fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed with this in 2009. It originated as a pain in my chest when I tried to run. I had joined a gym several months prior with a personal trainer and was doing great...until I wasn't anymore. My trainer was...
