When I Google Fibromyalgia, Google's embedded result says that the condition does not get worse as you age. I have to stop and question that for a moment. There is so much they DON'T know about the condition, so I think it is a presumptuous claim.
Don't get me wrong, I do hope that they are right. However, there are many things which make fibromyalgia worse. The question is, does age. You could be just fine and then poof you have the condition. Maybe there is a slow decent in to it, but most people I know with it did not have symptoms until adulthood.
If you can get it as an adult, how can they say that it does not get worse with age? I want to know YOUR experience. What real people with the condition think. Do you think it gets worse with age or does it level off?
