Just remember: it's not lupus! (Someone always suggests it, but it never is!)
Actually, I do have a diagnosis (I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia six years ago), it's just a really hard to treat effectively, especially as the only drug-related treatments available to me are narcotics... and I am not that desperate. (The rest are ruled out because of complications from my stroke.) Basically, I have to lead the most balanced life ever (exercise, eat well, at the same times for enough hours, play *and* work, etc, etc), but even then, an unfortunate weather pattern can move in and ruin all that hard work. Sometimes, it is just a bad period and no matter how good I am, I will still be sick. (And I suppose I have not been all that good, what with the stress.)
