I have heard that Fibromyalgia is very painful. Myself, I would not doubt that a person is in pain if they told me. I have pain that no one else can see, but that does not mean that it is not real. I do not know what is causing my pain yet, but, I hope to soon. There are medicines that will help with the pain of fibromyalgia. The sooner the person is told that they have it the better so they can be put on the medication. My Aunt has fibromyalgia and I have not seen her since I have found out because she live many mile away from me.
