I wanted to say hi. My mom suffers form fibromyalgia. I am scared that I have it too. I am only 30 years old. Hello and hoping to find some comfort here on this forum.

Over the last two + years, many...

Can a scare of any kind heighten Fibromyalgia symptoms? I recently was scared by some news that has left me more than a little apprehensive. I feel sobbish and I can't seem to put the thought out of my mind, and that alone makes me feel like sobbing, unless, the scare that was was put into me...
