I am sorry that you have this disease. If you search it you will find some articles you can give to your doctor. The pain is disabling. You can have both fibro and DD...most of us do. It is hard for people to understand just how bad this disease it. Your pain endings become so sensitized to pain it becomes unbearable. The lipomas like to grow in rows along nerves. The ones from the spine along the sciatic nerve are horrible. Many people's start in the rib cage. The fat is unsually heavy as the giant fat cells are full of lymph that has not been burned for energy or escreted from the body,so the fat hangs down. You also have the other associated symptoms...IBS, dry eye and mouth, depression, headaches, pain standing or walking, joint pain, swollen ankles, thyroid problems, sleeping problems, extreme fatigue, brain fog, apron of hanging fat and camel's hump. I am already disabled by it but I am 64. I want to help inform all of the women who have this disease. Good luck...Sylvia
