I'm sorry that you have had such a long hard journey to find out what your dx really is...some say that having MS and Fibro is a two edged sword...I would have to agree since I have both...and CFS as well...it is hard for me every single day with all the pain and other symptoms I have...but I have learned to be very content with the pain and not struggle so much...it seems that the less I struggle the better I feel usually...but some of that is left to interpretation...I hope you have found supplements and pain relief so you may enjoy your life...

Oh dear! It can be such a long road!
I am not convinced, esp. with the newest FMS info,. that a diagnosis of FMS is any less incapacitating than some forms of MS. I know studies have shown both FMS and CFS are often severely incapacitating... even more so than many other conditions.
I agree with "jewels," above... I hope you are able to enjoy life.

How do you manage the pain and fatigue? Are you tired from drugs? What do you take? I completely agree with carrying on and not dwelling on the pain whenever you can. it's called coping and it takes getting used to.
