I have it too, (4 years now) and the latest discouragement is that my family thinks I am full of it. I also suffer from Chronic Severe Depression, (20 years now). I am currently appealing for SSDI as suggested from my Doctor, as he has permanently disabled me. All my family can say is go to work! I haven't been able to keep a job longer than 6 months for the last 6 years. Too sore, too depressed, too stiff, crying, sleeping, or not sleeping at all for months on end. We have lost everything, our home of 24 years to foreclosure, and have now had to file bankruptcy due to this disease and the depression. Fibromyalsia is real and it is not something that I believe will ever go away. The only relief I can find is to take non-narcotic pain killers, such as Sulundac, and Celebrex for inflammation. Good luck and hang in there all.
