How long did it take for you to actually get diagnosed with fibro. I know that some people that i know that have it went for a long time with people not knowing what was wrong with them.

Four years or so of hearing "you are severly depressed and just don't know it." Finally had to actually go to a psychiatrist so they could tell me I'm definitely NOT depressed, and then the other doctors started actually listening.

14 years. From '84 to '98 in pain that was progressively getting worse. I honestly thought I had bone cancer the pain was so bad. It was a relief to finally get diagnosed. The pain is still here but at least i have a name for it now.

I know how you feel I have been in so much pain and they tell me I am depressed also. How do I ask a doctor on here or post my own thread?

Click on New Topic to start a new thread. Next to post reply at top left hand side. I think there is a doctor question and answer forum for asking a doctor questions.. not sure as I haven't had time to investigate this site yet.

there are oly a certain amount of questions accepted per day. when that quota is reached you cant post a question any more. we are based in europe so youd have to ask early in the morning.
