As you may know, there is a treatment for Fibromyalgia called Cymbalta. This is also an antidepressant and it might cheer you up a bit and make you feel better all round. If you are not on it it may be worth a try. Just a thought.

Hi Shirley
It is really challenging when you keep getting hit with these labels and diagnosis' however you know you and your body and our bodies are great at supporting us and getting us back on track when it is ready. Maybe have a look into alternative health support, I have found a great Myotherpist and he is fantastic. I have a sports and fitness background so having a good knowledge of anatomy and physiology has helped but this guy really blew all the labelled rubbish out of the water, treated me as an individual and has really helped me understand my body and how to work with it and not against it.
All the best.
