Hi Moose53,
I've been diagnosed with fibro also by 3 neurologists & a rheumatologist (in addition to the RSD, although, I've seen many, many more docs for the RSD. I'm not running around to doctors for the fun of it, just trying to get some help.)
The fibro diagnosis has just come up in the last year or so for me so I don't know where it came from but wonder if the pain in my back that I've had forever is fibro? I don't know where the RSD ends & the fibro starts or vice-versa as far as the pain goes some days. They're both awful. Does your fibro pain ever feel like muscle spasms that just won't quit?
Sorry, that you had to be one of the early people with fibro. I know how some people can say that the pain is in your head. It must have been harder for you then, when less was known about it.
