    My story and vent

    I guess this is more of a happy vent thing. So I grew up with everyone always thinking "oh Crystal is sick again". I was always in pain, always sick and always complaining about something. Even the school nurse thought I was making things up when I went to see her. The funny thing is, I...

    Painful Sleeping

    How do you manage to sleep at least semi-soundly? It seems my b/f's sister has tried new pillow, new mattress, new position, and still finds it hard to get out of bed and can't even sleep through the night without tossing and turning. She tried a sleeping pill once, but she's got such a low...

    Am I crazy!?!?

    I went to see another doctor due my strong headache issues and stuffed nose, well guess what? He ordered a CT scan of the sinuses... He is the third doctor to order a CT scan, the neurologist I saw some days ago ordered a brain CT scan, the proctologist I saw 2 months ago ordered a chest CT scan...

    Tens machines?

    Hi all I'm new around here and trying to figure out how best to manage my symptoms. I've heard before that TENS machines can be really helpful for the management of muscle and nerve pain and was wondering if anyone here has any experience with them?

    Hi from MO

    Hi there. I'm Kalli, 28 from Missouri. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Syndrome at the age of 26. It's been thought I've had it all my life.

    Does anyone have Chronic Tendonitis or RSI?

    Over the last year I experienced tendonitis and repetitive strain injury in my hands. It seems very usually for my age being mid 20s and I can't see a specific issue that would have triggered it to begin with. I have speculation that it might be related to CFS or Fibro. This is not a symptom...
