Hi,
I'm new here to the forum. I'm 30 now, was diagnosed in 2007, and until that time, I was in the best shape of my life. I worked 8 hours a day, then went to the gym for 1.5 hrs, and still had tons of energy to function.
When I got sick, I had no energy, was so exhausted that as soon as I...

I joined this group/forum as my partner Lynn has Fibro I don't but we both have to manage it, we are after all partners, I wish I could take the pain away and own it for her but I can't, what I can do is be the best support I can possibly be.
I have always been a sickly child. I was diagnosed with fibro and CFS when I was 17. It seems to run in my family with at least one case confirmed with an Aunt being diagnosed possibly more. For the past 10+ years I have had a doctor phobia and had stayed away and and off of all the drug...

I'm a mom and my kids were 2 & 4 when I got sick: Now they are 10 & 12. They do not know the "real" me. They don't remember how I was. I had to stop carrying my two year old around back then and that is hard for a baby girl. I could no longer hold her. I am sad that the mom they got is...
Hello to all of you! You seem like such a nice community, and while I admit I've never joined a forum particular to my currently unknown condition, I must say, I feel both excited and nervous!
So, here's my story, put as simply as I can manage: I am a 27 year old female with a ten year history...

My Narcolepsy Story:
I have been dealing with fibromyalgia symptoms for over a decade. Exhaustion, body pain, lack of energy and mostly miserable a lot of the time but.. I recently moved to California and now that my hubby has good insurance I went to see a rheumatologist who thought I had sleep...
Hey guys! Just wondering how everyone's overall health is? I mean, apart from fibro (as if having fibro wasn't hard enough, right?) do you suffer from anything else? A chronic disease?
I do, I suffer from asthma and other health issues I rather not talk about over here. But right now the...
I was officially diagnosed as have fibro by a Rhuemetologist yesterday, but I'm not new to chronic pain or fatigue. I've been in pain every day, at least to some extent, since a car accident four years ago. My pain almost completely went away (stayed at a 1-3 every day) while pregnant then...

I have been treating my fibro/CFS for 2 years and a myriad of mental health diagnoses for 8 years. At the age of 20, I have gotten to a manageable state in all of my illnesses while juggling fibro, depression, and college. I don't have many loved ones that have any interest in learning about my...
