Hi Pete - Welcome to the board. Fibromyalgia is a diagnosis of exclusion. When every other darn thing is ruled out then Fibromyalgia is the likely culprit. Have you seen a rheumatologist? They are the doctors best suited to handle a tricky diagnosis. I'm sorry that you are dealing with all of these health related issues. Take care.

It is very disconcerting to feel like this, knowing something's just not right and yet not getting answers. Don't give up. Find a rheumatologist you like and work with him or her. It took a year of actively seeking a diagnosis before I got one, many tests later. I had issues for a long time before it needed to be addressed.

This board is good for encouragement and advice. It's good to your mind to know you are not alone. Please check back in often and tell us how you're doing.

    Fun facts to up your day:The Big Bang wasn't IN space... it was OF space. How does that happen? Well, now you know why I'm NOT a physicist. Cuz I dunno. It just happened. Thena gain a new hypothesis is that our "black energy/matter" is actually waste dumped in our universe from somewhere else's black holes. How and all that? Don't ask. You start getting all "The Matrix" and muttering...
