It's chronic pain throughout your whole body. I have it. I was looking for someone's support or for someone else that might have it.

I have good days and I have bad days.
My bad days leave me feeling like I have the flu; I feel a general "achiness" all over, especially in my joints (shoulder's and elbows).

It's hard to describe to someone who doesn't understand it, especially since you can't "see" it.

Have they checked you for Epstein Barr virus? I have that as well and I've read it's very common to have that with fibro.

What kind of treatment plan do you have? I hope you have an understanding doctor, that makes all the difference in the world.

Thank God someone understands » spriggy

Hi, I'm so sorry that you have Fibro. Thanks for the advice, I will look into the other sickness too like you suggested. My kids are driving me crazy today so I keep getting upset and then getting in more pain. I wish I could get my emotions under control. Thanks so much for your communication.
