Hello, I'm new. Been in pain for a while now. Noticed neck pain starting about 2006. The last year or two I've been experiencing more and more muscle pain. Yesterday went back to my GP after seeing a neurologist and going to PT. She said she doesn't like to diagnose FMS but she thinks I...

I joined this group in October and have been reading your posts, almost daily, since then. This is my first post. Due to the fact that the medical community seems to have so few answers I find the antecdotal information on this site very helpful.
