    hi everyone, I have not been diagnosed with FM but many other possibilities have been excluded so I'm feeling like I'm getting down to the wire. I've been browsing a bit and so many of the stories I read are familiar. Today is a good day, but I've had many ups and downs, and it feels like every...
