You see... we all go through our own personal trials and for lack of words our own personal hell I couldn't find the right words) They are all different but in a sense they are the same because they all cause stress and anxiety on the body. I'm not saying that one shared story is worse than the other.im saying the end result of what we have all been through is the same Stress anxiety .... and ... we fought ...to survive... and we still fight. But now we are fighting the same War and it's name is fibromyalgia.

Thank you for your answer..I think it's important so we can get a picture of this disease. I am surprised how many of us have other problems besides those fibro causes.

chronic pain in my left shoulder and under left side of neck. Stiffness with sensitivity to the touch in all my moving joints . After 4 years of medicating and physical therapy i started falling in to a deep depression.

Thank you..I'll look her up.

I think my fibro is caused by stress and anxiety...my parents passed away at a young age of 70 with no notice really...5 months apart...it was a shock I think....then divorced after 20 yr marriage...stress will do it I'm sure....but I also have ra which doesn't help..oh well I see on here I'm not alone...happy to be here and read all the posts....take care my new fibro friends.... xoxo
