@Tiger1924 I completely understand, I was made to feel the same way. The doctors always seem to think we're exaggerating or making it up. It's a major reason why my diagnosis took so long. They refused to consider that it was fibro and kept telling me it was just arthritis. Keep pushing through, it's all we can do really. 😢

I find Fibromyalgia very confusing at times because the effects of the pain anywhere around the body which can be misleading to the individual ie chest it rib pains can make one feel they could be having an angina/ heart attack or having pain in the calf muscle can make one feel they are developing a DVT. I try to reassure myself that it isn't because of the length of time the pain lasts.
