Hi sore1234, I had muscle pain fro age 8 but was diagnosed at 40. However, severity increased at puberty, when I had a child when I moved to Europe and after a surgery. Perhaps the increment led me to seek out treatment.

Hi Sore1234. Good question. I think I had fibro all through my teens. It got a lot worse after I had my first daughter (she is now 49).

I eventually diagnosed myself - and paid to see a specialist - who confirmed I did indeed have fibromyalgia when I was about 63. So as you can see - I’ve spent most of my adult life coping with all the symptoms.

Along the way I was investigated for multiple allergies/hormone imbalances/breathing difficulties /depression. It’s not been an easy ride - but I did learn how to deal with the problems (to some degree).

I was very relieved to be diagnosed with fibro - it confirmed what I always knew - I was ill and not nuts!

Same as everyone else so far. Had symptoms from 12. Told it was “growing pains”. Felt awful throughout my teens and twenties. Paid to see a private specialist and finally got diagnosed at 37. What a relief to know! X

Like others here, I was experiencing pain and fatigue in my early 20's like you but I didn't receive a diagnosis until early 40's. 20 years ago doctors were not so knowledgeable about Fibromyalgia as they are now. I hope that you get the support that you need.

I had symptoms in my late teens after a car accident, only diagnosed at 35 after years of going to a doctor who done bloods to tell me I was just a tired person. It took me to move to a different area, new GP and get a diagnosis x

Ive been sugfering from symptoms since my teens. Just had my 56th birthday. Just had a phone consultation with new gp and confirmed its highly likely. My daughter in law is 23 and was diagnosed late teens
