is fibromyalgia long term?

I would have to say yes to that. I was diagnosed 21 years ago. My fibro has now reached the chronic stage so I am in pain constantly

Yup I have had fibro over 20 years .... But it was hardly a problem at allwhen I was active now I have arthritis too it's deffinately got worse.. And when I get stressed my ibs decides to join in too.

Hi Rachyyy

I am afraid the answer is probably yes, but to what degree will depend on the person and how they are treated. Check out the link below as there is lots of information on to help.

Sadly it seems yes - it can be long term - but sometimes it subsides - then

like a tsunami - it rushes in again. Sorry can't be more positive.
