First of all I would like to welcome you to NeuroTalk. This is a great site for any questions you may have.

Now as for the fibromyalgia thing panning out. It really depends on the person and how many tender points they have, whether they have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome with it. So really how it effects one person is really difficult to tell. For instance I was dx with Fibro some time ago, but when I had a surgery in '03, the fibro kicked in something terrible. I have been out of work since Nov. of '03 and have had a rough time getting around. You can say I am just about home bound. However, please know that I am also having seizures and other illness that may or may not have anything to do with the fibro.

On a positive note, I have been going to physical therapy for the past 4 weeks and my therapist does something called cranialsacro therapy. It really takes the pain away from my tender points and helps me be able to get around somewhat more.

So to really answer your question...Fibro is unpredictable. You can be sick for a while, then get better. But later you can have a relapse and feel terrible again.

Here is a great site you can go to, to help you learn more. It is the national fibro organizational site...http://www.fmaware.org/site/PageServ...e=fibromyalgia

Hope all goes well with you.
