    Just diagnosed, losing it

    I was diagnosed with fibro a week ago. This after fighting and firing doctors over the past 3 and a half years.

Maybe not as a young kid but as early as 18 years old I remember a 6 month episode of headaches and dizziness that no doctor (I saw about 9 or more), could explain. I was tested for things that I didn’t knew but I know they screened...
