Hi all. My name is Tammie, and I am a new member to this list. I am 29 years

old, and I am from Utah. I was diagnosed in 1986, when I was 13 years old, and

if it hadn't been for a Rheumatologist believing me, and taking me seriously, I

don't know what would have happened to me. I was told by several Doctors that

this was all in my head, and I got several referrals to Psychologists. When I

was diagnosed, the term Fibrositis was used. I don't know if we'll ever know

for sure, but my parents think I had Fibromyalgia since I was little. I never

could sleep through the night, and my parents would often find me roaming the

house, even when I was 3 and 4 years old. I've always had sleep problems as far

back as I can remember.

Well, I'll try to keep this message short. There's more I would like to share,

but I'll wait until next time. I look forward to getting to know all of you.

Take care.
