I don't agree that it's controlled with positive outlook at all, I went to therapy to help me think more positive and am 100% more positive then I was a year ago yet my fibromyalgia is worse then it was a year ago

I think it is something you have to manage rather than 'get over' I have only been recently diagnosed and have days where I am absolutely debilitated by it i.e today I think a lot of it is also sub conscious and can be controlled by a (if sometimes impossible) positive outlook :) I think the mind governs everything ultimately and once you face all your demons and learn to control your thoughts and feelings the management of pain in the body is also something you can control. Take care of yourself x

it is not controlled with positive outlook but I am trying myself to be positive most of the time but pain is not getting better. It is just helping facing it and keep going.

agree with you as I' always in pain between fibro and arthritis and neruropathy

Thanks for your message. My pain consultant is excellent and is presenting his findings to team of Consultants. Each slide he showed me WAS ME. Must say the more I read, the more I know I am not alone with this awful painful condition.
