    Eight Years of Pain

    Hi there! I'm 41 years old and have lived with Fibromyalgia for 8 years. Does it deserve a captial F? I feel a bit shamed for not joining a forum until today. If I'd have listened to Mom, I would have joined years ago. I came for a commonality, as well as different aspects, advice and to...

    New Here

    Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum but I am not new to fibro. I was diagnosed with fibro in 2007. I was 21 and had just had my second child.

    How Fibromyailgia Has Affected Me

    I've already been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, after which I promptly pissed off my Rheumatologist by saying I thought nobody believed that to be a legitimate diagnosis. He said, "Well, I do." I've always had bad luck with doctors. They always say I have an unusual case. Nothing is ever easy...

    Hello! First time here

    Hello from California :-) I've had chronic fatigue for close to 30 years, then was diagnosed with fibro more recently. They are similar and just seemed to morph. I believe it kicked off when I had a horrific food poisoning episode that wrecked my gut for a good year, then while that was...

    Have an interview for a much less stressful job but can I do it?

    I am home from work again. Today it's a colitis flare-up, fatigue and headache. I had put in my name on a job that sounded like it would be kind of fun and would be at a new agency. I think I'm ready to leave. Some other circumstances have made it very painful for me to work there. I am a...

    Hi there,

    I don't have a diagnosis yet but from searching dr Google I would say I have fibromyalgia. Blood tests have ruled out some things and I'm now waiting to see a neurologist. I have the usual symptoms which came on quite suddenly for me after the stress and over-physical activity of a house move...
