I was diagnosed with fibro in 1993 but my doctor was sure I had already had it for a long time. If you have a miracle pill, I envy you. I have tried lots of prescriptions and still have pain and sleep issues. However, once I actually started exercising, I felt better. I still hurt but I do a lot of cardio, ride my bike, and just try to keep active. If I hurt, I take more pain killers.

Fibro doesn't always get worse. I am about the same as I have always been. I haven't gotten better either. Everyone progresses differently. I just see my rheumatologist twice a year and my internist twice a year.

There are some great books out on fibro, especially the ones by Dr. Mark Pellegrino. If you haven't been reading up on the subject, that's a great place to start.

Just keep riding.
