But I finally found a great doctor who correctly diagnosed me. I'd say my fibro is not too severe, but it has kept me from doing a lot of things I want to be doing.
I've asked others this question and haven't gotten an answer, so maybe you'll know: Does it get worse as we age? I'm 40 and just wondering what it might be like at 60 or 70?
Anyway, I'm glad your new muscle relaxer is working!! Yay!

Just thought I would chip in- I have been diagnosed with fibro since 1996- so 15 years, I have gone downhill despite interventions- HOWEVER My fibro came to light after an auto accident that caused SEVERE injury in my back and have already had one surgery to help and may be facing #2 later this year, also I have hosts of other issues. A great website regarding co-mordity of diagnosises is : patientslike me.com They collect info from around the world and put it all together- to help both patients- to see what are other experiences and also researchers ( I am in numerous online follow up studies) to find out what is working and what MAY work. I STRONGLY suggest ANYONE with FM; Celiac disease; TMJ Disorder etc to check out patientslikeme's web site and enter your demo graphics- they DO NOT share ANY info about you globally ( if you fit the profile of a study they send you an e-mail to reply to if you are interested, then you fill out a prelim info with that particular research group if YOU want) I am big on privacy and have not had any issues with them sharing more than I want them to share. Every step of the way they ask if you are willing to share what.
