    Not convinced I have fibromyalgia

    Hi All, 41 year old, otherwise healthy Mom of 2. I noticed in February that my energy was really low. I also noticed that walking from my car to the office (3 minute walk) was hard as my arms and legs felt like lead. I am a runner and running is such a challenge because of the muscle aches...
