Same here my friend...it's hard aye...I'm blessed to wake each morning but lay there for a bit ..the worst is the morning getting out of bed after a long restless night of aches and pain...once I get moving it's a little better...how but you...depression is part of it ..it's tough when you want to be normal with no moans and groans when you do just about everything. ...hope you have a better day and nice to meet everyone on here..it's don't feel so alone with this fibro...

Hi Cindy. ..I certainly don't know a lot about my and everyone's fibro..but a thought.....being diagnosed with fibro I also was diagnosed with mctd...which is mixed connective tissue disease...I'm wondering if that is what causes fibro....it causes the cells to attack good tissue thinking it's bad..and maybe that's why we have fibro...it's not life threatening but it sure makes sense to why are joints and body feel so sore all the time....just a thought....

My list is long as well. Fibro is affecting a lot of areas in my body. This is why I love this site, I know I am not alone!

No. no one!! Unfortunately there are many other secondary diagnoses that come along FM !! I for one have IC (short for a very long diagnosis with my bladder)!! And of course IBS. And the list goes on. And on. And on!!!

I have osteo arthritis along with the fibro. I also have depression/anxiety.
