    My doctor says it's what I have, waiting for confirmation from a specialist.

    I've just turned 23 and I'm in shock, it's hitting me pretty hard. I had so many plans for my life and now I don't know if any of my goals are achievable.

    Who to believe?

    I was seen at one of the top hospitals in the US for my symptoms. I saw a rheumatologist, neurologist, infectious disease doctor, allergist, GI, and the pain clinic. I got what I like to call a 'non-diagnosis' of fibromyalgia. I tried a few medications that did more harm then good...

    emotional strain

    I was first diagnosed with FMS in 2006, but I'm certain I had it much longer. The symptoms, stress, and extreme fatigue are so debilitating. I feel isolated and others seem to think I'm some type of hypochondriac. I'm always at the doctor's offices hoping to get better.
