My daughter had it in high school and part of college. She eventually grew out of it but still has some neuralgia problem but yet I think every female member on my Mom's side has it for some reason. She took B 12 shots. or rather I gave her B 12 shots. When it came time for her to go to college I tried to get her to learn and she couldn't so she quit. I know an infirmary probbaly would have given it but it scare the bejeebees out of her. And I was an RN!. My sister has fibromyalgia and has a lot of it. Her doctor is going to start her on it. She says she will be able to give it to herself but if she needs help all she has to do is ask.
