I just saw your post and see that it was about 6 months ago. How is it going? The advice you were given was really good. Fibromyalgia is dreadful to deal with as an adult. Multiply that a few times to get a feel for what your daughter is going through. Add to that the other factors and you have a situation that screams for help. A support group for her is critical, and being around people her age going through health problems. It would be nice to have a buddy with the same condition, but not necessary. It may benefit her to share that other young people have health problems that other youth and adults & doctors don’t acknowledge nor understand. I’ve met two young girls at support groups over the years and I wish I had their information to put you all together. I know both girls mothers could find no one else their daughters ages going through the same thing. This was many years ago and then doctors refused to acknowledge it. I’d like to believe things are better now. Some of the greatest help many of us received was in the support groups. And I don’t want to scare you but I feel the need to say this. Growing up is hard enough for young people, add her problems on top of that and she may isolate and feel hopeless. I would strongly suggest you find help in your area before she has suicidal thoughts. And you need help too because this can’t be easy for you to go through and watch her in pain. Please keep fighting for and with her! God bless!
