I have fibromyalgia. It can be responsible for and goes hand in hand with a lot of other ailments. I've learned to live with the pain. I'm also on clomipramine, and it has seemed to help a bit. What I've always had a hard time with is the chronic fatigue and "fibro-fog". Modafinil seems to help with both of them.
It's a hard illness to cope with, especially with friends and family, as you "look fine". They don't realize how much of a daily struggle it can be, especially after you push yourself too hard. I've always had a hard time finding the line that I shouldn't cross, as when I have good days I always marathon it to get things done.
If you ever need to vent, I'm all ears!
