Thank you everyone. Your answers have made me feel like I am not all alone. Your posts sound as if I could have written them myself and @A MyFibroTeam Member I will check out that website. I hope we can all get to a place of contentment. God Bless.

Yes, I worry about this illness and how it is progressing every day! I have new symptoms all the time and it feels like I don't have control over my body anymore. I never know what will happen next and it is really scary. In the past year my feet and legs have gotten worse and worse. I see women on those motorized scooters in the mall and worry that it will be me soon. Never in a million years would I have predicted this! I also worry that the Dr.s are wrong and I have something more severe than Fibro that they haven't found yet. I find it hard to accept this diagnosis, and they don't seem to take it very seriously. They tell you that you have Fibro and write prescriptions that don't seem to work very well and have unpleasant side effects. They don't tell you what to expect or how to manage it. The whole experience has been anxiety inducing for sure.

Yes!, I'm so fearful that I won't go anywhere by myself and when I do I'm constantly afraid that I might feel ill and I'm alone, I hate taking showers cause what if, WHAT IF! I faint, trip, dizzy, can't get out of the car or can't get into the car cause of muscle stiffness, fibro sucks!

I would say tell your doc how you are feeling,&tell, them the words you have written ij your post, goodluck I suffer wth GAD, generalised anxiety dissorder..you need to tell docs..they can help if,not wth meds, then councilling.:-)

Yes.... I can't come to terms with it yet... It feels like it should be about someone else... Not me.... Why do I have to be in pain 24/7 for the rest of my
Life????
