Hi L. G.
I know exactly what you mean.
It took me 13 drs, and finally someone had a name for it.
When they told me it was Fibromyalgia I started crying, because I was relieved. I went directly to the Arthritis foundation in my provance and they took my membership fee then told me there was no support group. I was furious. Then I calmed down and said. I hope you dont get a paper cut from my check. I’m starting my own group. With that she tells me I cant. Never say cant to me, I don’t believe in cant. Then I told her just try and stop me. I’ve had 2 groups since that day. 1 in Scar, and the other in Durham reagion. Now I run them on line. I’m closed for the season.
