    I got diagnosed in the past week, but I've had severe symptoms since October. I'm considering going on disability. I used to work ~38 hours a week but I had to quit because of the pain and fatigue. I'm only 19 and I'm stuck at my parents house. I can't work but would like some semblance of...

    New from Arizona

    Hi. My name is Linda and I'm 55. I used to be an employed engineer until this chronic pain condition killed my career a few years ago. I haven't been officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia but I strongly suspect that's what the rheumatologist will say I when I see him next week. It took me...

    New Here, too.

    Hi, This seems to be a popular and comprehensive site; amazed I've never run into it, before! I am elderly with fibro, along with migraines, DDD, IBS, GERD, OA, and a million other disorders (or so it seems). Frankly, I found the registration somewhat daunting; I don't even remember when I was...
