    Hi, I'm new here, but not new to fibromyalgia. I was first diagnosed in 2003. Things were relatively stable for a long time, with good days and bad days. In the last couple of years, though, my symptoms are much worse. I don't have anything close to one of my old "good days" any more. The best...

    Fibro Caused by PTSD?

    I was reading the information on the site and it said that fibro can actually be caused (they think) by trauma. I find this fascinating because I have a long history of trauma in my life, and no one else in my family has fibro. There seems to be no basis for where or how I contracted it...

    At What Age Did Your Simptoms Start?
