I have had fibromyalgia for over 20 years. There is nothing I do not know about this condition since I read everything I get my hands on along with being involved with the Arthritis Foundation, which by the way has a wonderful magazine that comes out every month & has many interesting articles on Fibromyalgia. When I was first diagnosed with FMS it was a non-heard of disease, only in the past few years has it come to light. Unfortunately, many are being diagnosed by the family doc's since it seems to be "the thing" believe me you will know & not just by tender spots. It is a very incompatsating disease that pushes your limits everyday along with taking away a large quality of your life. If you need any advise you are more than welcome to e-mail me.
