Wondering... can you just suddenly "get" fibromyalgia out of nowhere? i'm concerned and seeing my doctor soon but still just wondering.

Perhaps infection: Even though fibromyalgia may for some seem to come out of the blue, it usually follows some kind of stressful experience that heightens pain sensitivity. Similar symptoms can occur with lyme disease and other tick-born, rickettsial infections. For those infections early treatment provides best outcomes. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/fibromyalgia/basics/definition/con-20019243.
