    Fibromyalgia or CFS?

    Hi all, I have had chronic pain and severe fatigue for years and my doctors have failed to find the source. Because I am only 18, they do not seem to consider things such as fibromyalgia or the like and through each round of blood work they just tell me to eat right, exercise, get enough...

    No Diagnosis,5 years of pain, so depressed

    I am new here. I am sure at some point I will be given the Fibromyalgia diagnosis. I started becoming sick at age 30 when my daughter was around 4. I was a single parent from the beginning and life was great. I had a high paying job, we needed for nothing. She is my life. It kills me now that we...

    Environmental Factors

    Initially my family doctor thought the numbness in my face, lips and tongue, the burning sensations on my arms and legs, nausea, tremors, muscle weakness, joint pain, fatigue etc may be Fibromyalgia due to lack of any evidence in blood work of other causative factors. At least that possibility...

    Just griping

    :-(I know what to do for a migraine, I've had them since I was 5 yrs old. But when they last for 5 days I get real tired and fed up-if I had any energy I'd scream. I've never understood people--like my sister--who say crying cleanses them, just gives me a migraine and sick stomach. We had to...

I use to teach elementary school full time but had to quit because of the symptoms I have. I tried teaching part time...

    Here I am...

    Hello, I just joined this group for the simple fact of being understood. I am in my 30's and have been disabled with fibro & cfs for 5.5 years. I had adverse reactions to fibro meds which led to a movement disorder, as well. I recently have been irritating my teen and husband because I repeat...
