    For the outdoorsy types...

    Anyone out there love hiking/kayaking/backpacking etc? I used to love to be outdoors and very active until I started having health problems at 15. Now, I am 21 and for years have had a sense of identity loss because I have been unable or afraid to do what I once did weekly. I'm trying to get...

    I need advice and guidance

    Stress Caused Fibro

    I know that stress can be a contributing factor in fibro. I was under tremendous stress for 5 years then bam! My body just gave out. How many of you were diagnosed due to stress? I'm just curious what the percentage's might be.

    Kratom---Beware

    There has been some recent activity here about the benefits of kratom, specifically from one company and one new member. I have to speak up. Be aware that this is not approved by the FDA for human consumption. It is derived from a plant in Thailand where it is used as a substitute for opium...

    Surgery update

    Well I am six weeks out from surgery now. I saw my doctor today and he said I no longer had to use the sling and that I could go back to driving. He said I was healing very well for a woman my age (60 1/2). I don't have to go back to therapy for six weeks when they will start strengthening...

    Life-long Effects from Fibro

    I have been doing a lot of research lately on this dz, and after digging and digging, I found some information on loss of gray matter. They equated the loss of gray matter in the brain to that of Alzheimer's. Unsure as to the exact reason, but potentially from always being in a chronic pain...
