Before I was diagnosed I thought I was just getting old and the diabetes was getting the best of me. I'm 58 years old. I woke up in the morning feeling like I had been hit by a truck. I went on like that for a few years but my husband and I went on a cruise just about a year ago and I felt like ---- the whole time. When I got home I decided enough was enough I had to find out what was wrong. After several Dr visits (different Dr's) I was diagnosed with Fibro. I am not for sure how they diagnosed me but I do know that they poked me in several different places to see if it hurt most of them did. I am still working but it gets difficult somedays. RIght now I am having alot of problems with my hands. Not sure if its fibro or carpal tunnel as I work in an office and type alot. I believe someone wrote that they had been waiting since 08 to find out if they could get disability!?!?!?!?
