Yes, the word "Fibromyalgia" has come up when visiting a GP in the past. BUT that is just a catchall phrase used to explain generalized pain. It doesn't REALLY mean anything. Most people think it's a diagnosis but it's not.

" FMS (fibromyalgia (fi-bro-my-Al-juh) syndrome) is a widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue disorder for which the cause is still unknown. Fibromyalgia means pain in the fibrous tissues in the body.
The pain comes from the connective tissues, such as the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. FMS does not involve the joints, as does rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
Most patients with fibromyalgia say that they ache all over. Their muscles may feel like they have been pulled or overworked. Sometimes the muscles twitch and at other times they burn. More women than men are afflicted with fibromyalgia, but it shows up in people of all ages. "

" OTHER TREATMENTS
Acupuncture, acupressure, nutrition, relaxation techniques, osteopathic manipulation, chiropractic care, therapeutic massage, or a gentle exercise program.
Therapeutic massage, heat or hot baths, ice massage, biofeedback and other relaxation techniques, stress reduction, behaviour modifications, body mechanics, posture training, cognitive behaviour therapy and meditation.

EXERCISE
A program of stretching and gentle exercise is essential for FMS patients. A physical therapist or exercise physiologist can help you put together a program that will be beneficial in maintaining muscle tone and a reasonable level of aerobic fitness. Walking, stationary exercise equipment, pool therapy, and stretching seem to be the most suitable activities for the FMS patient. The key is to start slowly and increase your exercise time and level carefully.
There is increasing evidence that a regular exercise routine is essential for all fibromyalgia syndrome patients. "
