Hi, I've only recently been diagnosed but was told I've had fibro since I hurt my neck 13yrs ago. I now have very limited movement and constant pain, headaches and the last 3 years severe migraine and photosensitivity. The pain has spread down my back over the years but nothing major until about 6mths ago. I reached up and put 3 nails in the wall for my mum, the next and since I can hardly move, can't walk far, have next to no strength or energy. This is the only reason I was diagnosed. Pain killers are maxed up and I'm waiting to go the pain clinic again, they were no help when I went about my next. So slowly over the years I've got worse with this illness, but doctors told me it's not progressive, I personally think they are wrong. Am I alone in thinking this???
