@Faery_Light - yes Fibro can be brought on either by a traumatic physical event (like a car crash) or be there from childhood. Mine was childhood also and growing up as a baby boomer, I got the same crap because doctors didn't know what was going on. In fact they did not know what was going on or even give this syndrome a name until about what 20 or 30 years ago? I've had to do reading and research all my life to figure out what was wrong with me until I finally met a doctor who actually understood and agreed with my diagnosis!
I have a couple of friends who also have rheumatoid arthritis and it's weird how many symptoms of fibromyalgia and RA are the same ! I called them "sister syndromes" . sometimes I wonder if many of these syndromes have developed in human beings because of the incredible amount of pollution it's been around for the last 50 years or so ?!
And now I think I better go try to do a little bit of art…
