    Old but New Diagnosis

    My doctor in 2012 diagnosed me with FMS, but I disbelieved her, buying into the "we'll say that when we can't figure out what's wrong with you" myth. And I lived the next four years as if I were a well person and nearly burned out completely. A new doctor diagnosed me with FMS again and told...

    I'm glad to have found this forum. I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago with fibro. Reading up on it all the weird symptoms you would never connect together finally made sense I'm a single mom of 3 and I have a highly demanding job. No one around me seems to understand fibro or be...
