Fibromyalgia plot bunny

[4thejourney.livejournal.com]

I've been having this urge now for a while to read a fic where Sam suffers from fibromyalgia (I know it's more common in women but it can also affect men), so I decided to try posting this here.   I would like it to be gen.   Comforting and helpful big brother Dean who maybe has to remind Sam to take care of himself sometimes is also awesome.  That's it, I'm not too particular in details other than those (it could be cool if John was in the story as well but that isn't a must).  Any takers? I'd be ever so grateful. :-D

Edit:     I decided to add this comment for a little more info, as I'd actually thought of this possibility but failed to mention it in my post: "Fibromyalgia affects different people to varying degrees, but I don't think Sam could deal with a lot of the aspects of hunting, all the extreme physical aspects of it.
I can't see John handling the news well, if they finally got a correct diagnosis, or Dean, actually, because I'd think it would really get in the way of hunting. Still, it would be a good subject for someone to tackle, rather than the more common hurt/comfort scenarios."

Well I would probably never attempt this because my mother has it and I would never want to put even fictional characters through as much pain as my mother goes through but I can give any advice/knowledge or general medical facts needed if someone ever wanted to write this

I'd be interested in reading a story like this if it was written by someone who really understand the condition. I've got fibromyalgia myself, and I know it affects different people to varying degrees, but I don't think Sam could deal with a lot of the aspects of hunting, all the extreme physical aspects of it.

I can't see John handling the news well, if they finally got a correct diagnosis, or Dean, actually, because I'd think it would really get in the way of hunting. Still, it would be a good subject for someone to tackle, rather than the more common hurt/comfort scenarios.

I did it! It turned into a 16,000 word epic which took me 8 months to write, but here it is:
