    What made you think you had fibromyalgia?

    I've had pain that has been getting worse for 3 years now. It is to the point where it is every day, and I have just about every symptom that goes along with it. I have an appointment tomorrow, and hoping to get some answers. I was just wondering what led to the diagnosis for you?
