I have been packing for a month now, trying to get as much done as I can ahead of time and my sister and her husband fly in on Saturday to help do the rest, load it all into a 26' Penske truck and then we make the two day ...

I have had muscle pain for years and just assumed that it was a result of a nursing accident many years ago! I regularly visit my masseur and she told me to see a doctor as she beleived that I had fibromyalgia. I saw the doc and after blood tests etc, he said yes I do have it but offered no help with it.
