    How do you pay for alternative medicine?

    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

    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...

    Turned away by Rhuemetologist?

    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...

    "Young, wild, and [chronicly in pain]"

    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...
