    Why are we still in the dark?

    There are lots of theories out there about FMS/CFS. It's a thyroid problem, it's a digestive problem, candida, it's an autoimmune problem, etc. But not enough research is being done to get to the bottom of it. The reason for that is twofold, in my opinion. 1. Fibromialgia and chronic fatigue...

    New and anxious

    Hi everyone. I have not yet been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but I'm seeing a GP in two days after letting my symptoms get worse and worse the past few months.

    How does fibromyalgia affect your driving?

    All of my pain from my mysterious health issues cause me a lot of pain. I just can not sit in a car for very long. If I am driving I get spacey and do stupid things like run red lights and stop signs. I was wondering if Fibromyalgia affected you guys in a similar way. Does it interfere with your...

    Fibro, Mental Illness, and Youth

Due to my lengthly list of health concerns, I think that my dad, sister, and brother have written me off as dramatic...
