[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 281821, member: 2211"] [SIZE=3][COLOR=royalblue]Suz, I've had the more obvious sumptoms since early January, however, they were not this severe. Prior to that I have had bouts of inflammation and pain all over my body and my Dr has touched on the fibro thing but never gave me a definitive diagnosis. My symptoms have progressively gotten worse over the past 3 months, and now I am hoping this is the peak because I can't take much more pain than this.
