i've had chronic pain since last january. it started off in the middle of my back and ankles and knees but now it's spread everywhere (the pain i mean). when i exercise or anything it feels fine, minimal pain and all unless it's something that really aggravates the pain. i wanna get checked for fibromyalgia but my family doesn't want to because they think it's not a real disease. i dunno... it's gettin frutstrating though hurting all the time...not even tylenol works anymore. i'm almost desperate i don't know what to do. i can't afford to see the doc myself and my dad works in the same hospital where i go get checked at. argh
