Ok I totally believe in Fibromyalgia. Its real and can be really hard to live with.
I may have been misdiagnosed with it because I definitely have two disorders that doctors are barely aware of (kinda like Fibro was 10 years ago).
I May even have FM on top of everything but almost all of the symptoms overlap so I just wanted to nention the disorders to you so you can make sure you dint also have them ir havent been misdiagnosed
Things like exaustion, fibro fog, tender points, pretty much all of it.
There are some different treatments and also different things you need to to keep things from worsening.
Again. I totally believe that Fibro is real and legitimate. My hEDS doctor was just talking with me about how a lot of hEDS and Dysautonomia cases get misclassified....so i wanted to share that.
For those of you with ehler-danlos....Disautonomia often develops in a really high percentage of Zebra's (people with eds).
It us worth familiarizing your self with.

If you do think you may have these conditions...
Under Community Resources
The ehlers-danlos society has links to eds aware medical professionals and also online support groups in your area are a great source fir finding EDS doctors and EDS aware practitioners in your are (some drs dont know to register with the society so are not in the physician guide).
I found my eds and disautonomia drs and PTs and pain specialists by going through local support groups.
