When were you diagnosed with fibromyalgia?

I was 23 when I was diagnosed by a rheumatologist.

I was 28 when diagnosed, but I had been suffering since childhood.

2014 at 15 years old. Was also diagnosed with Takayasu's Arteritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

At first by a rheumatologist at my university in 2018, but I had already suspected fibro from my own research into my symptoms then was diagnosed again by 3 more rheumatologists since then

Mine was kind of an accident. I see a neurologist because I have seizures and I asked him if I could have MS. He did all the testing and imaging and said I don't, but that I have fibromyalgia.

Because of two male doctors ignoring what I told them and offering no help, I switched to a female Primary Care Physician. Since I was a working RN (24 years ago), I did a head-to-toe assessment on myself and wrote everything down. I took it to my new doctor, who reviewed it. She immediately said that it was classic FM. A year later, she saved my life when she diagnosed my Non-hodgkin's Lymphoma. Since then, except for my oncologist and later a rheumatologist, my doctors have all been women.

My neurologist (I have seizures) diagnosed me at 30 in 2020.

I was 32 when diagnosed
