    No Diagnosis,5 years of pain, so depressed

    I am new here. I am sure at some point I will be given the Fibromyalgia diagnosis. I started becoming sick at age 30 when my daughter was around 4. I was a single parent from the beginning and life was great. I had a high paying job, we needed for nothing. She is my life. It kills me now that we...

    I feel really guilty right now

    I have never allowed myself to call in sick from work because of fibro/cfs. No matter how awful I felt, I always dragged myself into the office unless I definitely had a "real" virus (like the puking kind or the kind that showed up on a thermometer). But yesterday I just couldn't do it. I...
