Hi I am a 48 year old female, who has had Fibro for over 10 years, although was just diagnosed in June 2014. At first the problems would start up and then disappear for awhile, which was great because I could deal with the pain so much better cause I knew it would eventually go away. I...

My Dr refuses to do anything. She says the pain I am in is a result of my depression and anxiety and that the pain should go away once the depression and anxiety are under control. She refuses to accept the fact that my depression and anxiety are worse because of the pain, and are not actually...
