I went to the book store today and got "Fibromyalgia for Dummies". I've started reading it. So far it seems pretty good. Has anyone else read it? Would you recommend your spouse read it also? Thanks in advance.
Try looking up Myofascial Pain. It when your muscles swell and tighten up. It causes a lot of pain. Look at your body where you feel the pain and see if it looks different. I am going through this now. I thought that I had Fibromyalgia, but the doctor said it was Myofascial or (MPS) muscle pain syndrome. What you feel is real, and really painful. When I was working it hurt a lot, but I kept on going because I had to. Dont loose your job. Go to the doctor and get some type of pain medicine. Good Luck!
