    So much in common

    I have read so many threads and can relate to so much. It is apparent that we all have so much in common yet our experiences can be so personal. It is great to have such a forum, if not to seek out help but to know that we are not alone in our daily struggles. I wish everyone could have a...

    What are the other options (if not Fibro)

    Hello All, I have been seeing doctors for pain and parasthesia for over three years now with no diagnosis. Actually, that's not fair, because for 12-13 months while I was pregnant with my youngest and right after, I did not have symptoms and was not being seen for that purpose. I presented to...

    Hello! Struggling in London.

    Hi...I'm new here. I'm 46, married with two children (7 and 11 years old) and I was diagnosed officially two years ago but my family doctor was pretty sure I had fibromyalgia for a year before that. It took a long time to get a referral to a specialist here in London. I've tried to adjust diet...
