My friend in Germany has had it for a couple of years or so, takes loads of medication, her German doctor does a lot more for her than mine here seems to.

I think before people didn't know what fm was but it's certainly becoming more and more common, I have spoken to other people who have it too but can't remember who right now, not close to me tho.
