Seems like a lot of us. I was diagnosed 35 years ago after they finished testing me for Lupus, MS, and I can't even remember what else. I know I spent about 3 full days in different doctor's offices being tested. After they ruled everything else out the only thing left was Fibromyalgia. I was lucky I went to a doctor who believed it is a real condition and not just in my head.

Do you have the classic "hot spots" for pain and tenderness ?

Dorothy

The pain doesn't seem to be as localized as it was years ago. I still have pressure point soreness but also hurt in more places than I use to. I also don't sleep well and am tired often.

I go to the gym and do the recumbent bike and also use ab, leg and arm weight machines with light weights. I feel better any day I go to the gym but it doesn't help me sleep.

I take 1Tylenol twice a day and 1 ibuprofin twice a day which helps just a tiny bit.

Lois

That one small dose of amitriptylene at bedtime works wonders for me with the sleep problems. At least I do get SOME sleep, not like before.
