Close Fibromyalgia
I have had problems with depression and fatigue most of my life and was finally diagnosedwith fibro 18 months ago. Also have degenerative disc disease. I am 58 years old and married with three grown children and two grandkids. I worked as a medical lab tech and went back to school for 4 year degree. I haven't worked for two years because of the fibro.
