Hi all!
I guess I fall into the category of "recently diagnosed."
The condition is not recent though. I have been suffering from fatigue, pain, restless legs and cognitive symptoms for a couple years now. Recently, I had the opportunity to see a rheumatologist who suggested that it was fibromyalgia. I have been having extreme difficulty healing from an injury and there is referred pain as well as widespread pain of no specific origin throughout my body. That plus unexplained tenderness in those familiar points seem to add up.
I had a "duh!" moment when the doc gave me her opinion. For some reason, even in the depths of my symptom-googling, I neglected to see how exactly my symptoms fit the syndrome.
Now I am looking for people who have navigated fibromyalgia with some success. I really need some hope because I'm running on fumes between the actual injury and my brain's perverse way of dealing with the pain. I also just feel so tired all of the time.
Anyway, hi everybody!
