                        Forget SSD.  I had Fibromyalgia for years.  SSD doesn't recognize the disease.  It took me 2 years to get cured, but I am very well now.  I found a really good naturopath and combined a number of therapies including:    massage & light exercise daily  Reducing food allergens (blood test for foods I was allergic to first)  Self hypnosis for pain reduction  Arthritis Foundation Arthroswim classes    It wasn't easy, but it was worth the effort.  I have my life back.    Good Luck with your recovery.  Never stop believing that recovery is possible.
