Living with Fibromyalgia: My Journey

I believe my fibro journey technically started when I was 7 and started experiencing nerve pain in my thighs, though I couldn't articulate what it was so I called it the "deep bone pain" and was told it was growing pains. Except even when I stopped growing. the pain persisted, spread and grew more intense. By 15, I was living that every day ache, pain, fatigue and fog life. I grew up in a rural town and they didn't believe in fibro so I wasn't formally diagnosed until I moved to a city in a different state. I've never actually met another person with fibro and honestly, it's hard only ever interacting with people who just can't comprehend 24/7 365 pain.
