I know this is not s substitute for medical expertise and I am under a physician's care. However, I need suggestions.

They said I tested negative for rheumatoid factor, yet I am in constant pain. Burning, stabbing, aching pain. It doesn't come and go like most fibro patients I read about. Is this normal to have chronic, consistent flare ups? I have lost almost 50 lbs, changed my diet, eliminated processed sugar and bad carbs, gluten, etc., and am still suffering. I am feeling very frustrated and at a loss. I have no life. I am 38 years old and newly diagnosed.

I started a new job and grossly underestimated the physical toll. This weekend after taking much attitude from people who should be training and mentoring me I ran smack into a pain train. The combo was too much and I cried at work. Now I’m terrified that I’ll be under a microscope which will make me even more sensitive which will exacerbate my pain which will... you know the cycle.😩
