    Is this normal?

    Are these symptoms normal? I am really tired most of the time, without doing anything. That is probably the worst of my complaints, the rest I can deal with. But my head feels unusually heavy and the back of my neck burns (like a massive sunburn that won't go away) and the burning spreads...

    In Need of a Diagnosis...

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a diagnosis from a doctor? The reason I ask is because I've seen two rheumatologists. Neither one gave me a diagnosis, even though it is pretty obvious to anyone who observes me that I DO have fibromyalgia. I've read that many doctors are very...
