    Fibro, Mental Illness, and Youth

    Every case of fibro/CFS is different. In my case, I was diagnosed at the age of 18 following previous diagnoses of Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety Disorder, ADD, and Asthma. Due to my lengthly list of health concerns, I think that my dad, sister, and brother have written me off as dramatic...

    Does Fibrobmyalgia Worsen With Age?

    When I Google Fibromyalgia, Google's embedded result says that the condition does not get worse as you age. I have to stop and question that for a moment. There is so much they DON'T know about the condition, so I think it is a presumptuous claim. Don't get me wrong, I do hope that they are...

    My name is Lindsey. I'm new to the forum. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2012 and lately it has been completely overwhelming. I'm currently in between primary care physicians and my pain is beyond out of control. I am only 19 so I face this stigma that comes with my age. Since I am so...

    New Member (Male)

    I'm a new member, probably one of the few male members. I am not new to fibromyalgia, however. I have had this condition for many years - decades. I was initially diagnosed in 1991, when many more doctors than now dismissed overall body pain. Fibromyalgia had only recently been given it's...

    Hi everyone, new here.

    I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in July after several years of ruling out every other possibility under the sun. I do believe that my Mother also had this however in her day it was attributed to "old age aches and pains" and she suffered for years. It has been a very trying few years as I...

    Finding the right MD

    I'm pretty new around here, and have what might be a common question: How do I go about finding the most knowledgeable doctor to help me manage my Fibro? My G.P. - who diagnosed me 3 years ago, seems not to know what to do beyond throwing the "miracle meds" (like Lyrica or Cymbalta) at me...
