I appreciate your work in trying to educate the population concerning fibromyalgia. I am a 49 year old woman who fought for a diagnosis over 23 years ago after the birth of my second child. I was told at the time good luck, there is nothing written on this matter. The Rheumatologist said maybe the arthritis foundation could help you. I spent 3 years on the couch in pain and no one understanding what I was going through. People would say I was lazy and it was all in my head. Very painful words. I found a Psychiatrist and a Internist would worked with me and made life easier to get up every morning. Medication combination and exercise are what I focus on. Oh, I also work a 40 hour week. I am not saying it is easy, I am just say without my children and work I wouldn't be as motivated.
