I have been formally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia since December 2007. I believe that I have been suffering from many symptoms since childhood. I have gone from being very active to unable to work or do much of anything physical. I've done cheerleading, gymnastics, mountain biking and dog sledding. It and/or the medications have effected my mind as well. I was ronce intelligent and a airplane captain, now it's difficult for me to follow simple recipes or comprehend paragraphs in books. I have tried many different treatments including medications, physical therapy, diets, natural supplemnts.
