What is that Octopus doing in my back?!!

I remember when I first felt the pain of fibromyalgia. It was back in 2006. I woke up with the worst crick in my neck one morning after deciding to go to sleep worrying about something at work. My sweet Mother always said that 95% of what we worry about never comes to pass! Thanks Mom! Not to mention coming from one of the worst worriers ever!! God love her! I waited a couple of weeks, and then went to doc in the box. I was prescribed a muscle relaxer. That helped for a short while, but then I developed a tolerance for the medication.

Then began the depressing quest for a diagnosis.
