A member asked:

How do i know if i'm suffering from fibromyalgia or is it something worse? i've been to the doctors many times and no one can concrete diagnose me

See details: Fibromyalgia is characteristized by specific areas of soft tissue tenderness, chronic fatigue, headaches and disrupted sleep patterns. See a rheumatologist. If the first one did not help, get a 2nd opinion.
