I am glad to hear that at least you have a diagnosis. I do know that researchers have been working hard to find a cause for fibro and a treatment.

It is a "syndrome" which is a group of symptoms with no known cause.  There is a cause but no one knows what it is.....There is primary fibro and secondary fibro.  Primary is that it is a problem in itself ??cause.  Seconday means the fibro symptoms are being caused by a disease process.  Fibro can be a secondary problem to things like lyme, lupus and other autoimmune diseases.
