Christie, You're very welcome, sweetie pie! That's what we're here for!!
I also agree with everything Linz said, BTW.
Tina, sounds like you might have it too, unfortunately.
OH! The biggest reason for diagnosis and treatment early is the prognosis for improvement and even remission is much greater the younger you are when diagnosed!

Hi Laura Sue. Is fibro that terrible to have? It seems like there are a few people here with both.
I'll mention it to my doctor. Hey, maybe it's good that I'm finally putting real names on all these thing that make me feel crappy. There's got to be a light at the end of the tunnel somewhere, right?

No it's not terrible to have. It's not like cancer or multiple scelrosis (sp?) or even as bad as rheumatoid arthritis. It's just another chronic medical condition like asthma or IBS that needs managing in order to feel your best.
And yes, there's a definite overlap in people with IBS and fibro as both are related to dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. Conveniently what helps one often helps the other!
