    Glad to have found this group

    I came across this group during the several month wait until I can get an appointment with a rheumatologist. I have had symptoms for about ten months.

    Diagnosed with fm after age 60

    Is there anyone else who was a "senior" when diagnosed with fibromyalgia? If so, what are you doing as far as treatment. I've tried and quit lyrica. I'm afraid to start cymbalta. I am seeing a psychologist who has fibro herself and she has gotten me into a physical therapy program starting next...
