I was diagnosed 4 months ago but i am pretty sure i have had this for a long time, judging by some of my symptoms. I am wondering if Fibro gets worse as time goes on?
I am 40 now and there are definately more problems arising with my health within the last year, but would like to know from the experts (people who suffer on a daily basis) if the symptoms and pain levels gets worse?

fibro magnifies what is wrong with your body...so as you age and your body breaks down some fibro will magnify that

Yes ive just been introduced to magnesium malate and it seems to relax the muscles somewhat, and nerves i think...still trying to figure out all the effects...

I think that menopause is affecting my body and has caused my migraines to come back worse than they have been in a long time. I have a new medicine that stops the migraine and my neurologist raised my preventative and so far so ggod the past few days. I am 49 years and have noticed that my pain became worse the past few months. When the doctor put me on Lyrica instead of Neurontin my pain level go down a whole lot. I know that the weather can affect our fibromyalgia and symptoms can very from day to day. Hang in there.

I've had this for 25 years and haven't really noticed it getting worse. I haven't had to work full-time in all of that time, though. I will have to again and fear the worst. Gabapentin, Tramadol, Cymbalta and Magnesium Malate are what seem to work for me.
