Hi, Julie, nice to hear from my favorite sweet potato queen!!
I have wondered that exact same thing about Devin. She must be an absolute powerhouse!! I know she's had it for years so she probably has figured out a strategy that works for her. I'm SURE though that she didn't write that book the first year she got it!! I also wouldn't be surprised if she hardly does anything else, no hobbies, no social life, etc. On the other hand, books can be written one sentence at a time whenever you feel well enough, so who knows. (My therapist told me that, she thinks I should write a book, actually!)
As far as the doctors, first go straight to a rheumatologist, don't bother with an internist. Second, go to someone relatively young so that they've heard enough about this. Third, start out by telling him or her that you think you might have fibro because... and then list the three biggest reasons. Fourth, cross your fingers!! And if the first one doesn't give you a good vibe, try someone else.
For now, listen to your body and when it wants to go lie down, OBEY IT. You have the rest of your life to accomplish things, but first you have to get your fibro managed down to a reasonable level. On a lighter note, I now joke with my hubby that I've turned into the ditz we always used to laugh at. And I'm discovering it's kinda fun being a ditz!! There are some definite advantages!!
Hang in there sweetie. Keep me posted on how you're doing, okay?!
