Elena Navarro's Story

  • Jan 28, 2022
My symptoms started when I was 23. I was in so much pain and was exhausted. I went to my doctor and she took tests then told me it was all in my head and said I should speak to a therapist. I struggled for years not knowing what I had. I didn't go to the doctor for two years after my bad experience. When I went to the doctor again, my new doctor listened. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and started to see a rheumatologist.
