Hi , I am 52 and was diagnosed in 2007 although I suspect I had it many years. i also have severe arthritis and have had 2 joint replacments and since these my fibro has increased to be chronic with very few to no painfree days, it has definatly become worse since these operations and menopause.View Thread
I worked as a nurse and caregiver for the disabled for 32 years and I would give you this advice....retrain for office work in the same field, I did this but unforunatly I had severe arthritis and at 49 my hip totally collapsed and I had a hip and knee replacment, my fibromyalgia flared so now I cant work at all ,I left it too late till I was compleatly unable to do carer work any more without great pain now I think if I had of made the change earlier I wouldn't be in such a mess. Good luckView Thread
