    Fatigue and pain

    Usually my fibro related fatigue is pretty easy to manage but the last couple of days it's seemed to have gotten a lot worse. Last night for instance, I slept eight hours straight and then woke up, I was up for maybe an hour, and I was already fighting to stay awake. I've also been in a lot more...

    In A Flare

    For the past several years, my Fibromyalgia has been somewhat stable, with everyday symptoms that I've learned to cope with, and about 2 flares per year. Once I fall into a pattern, I find it easier to manage life, my pain, and my other symptoms, because although the symptoms are miserable, they...

    Teens with Fibromyalgia (Vent, Questions/Answers, Support)

    Being recently diagnosed, I'm trying so hard to live my life like a normal person my age would. But it's exhausting. I just want to be better. And pretending to be better just sucks. It's like you create this facade of yourself and you're freaking superwoman and you honestly start to believe...

    Do these symptoms check out?

    Hello, I'm 27 and, after looking up the symptoms of fibromyalgia, I'm wondering if I may not be suffering from it. I also looked up some of the possible causes of fibro. I'll begin when the symptoms started, after I had a mRSA infection at the age of 22. The doctors surgically removed the...

    Cat Scan anyone?

    I had a cat scan w/contrast done a couple of months ago. For 2 weeks afterwards everything was worse...pain, fatigue, brain fog; I'm still a little worse than before the procedure. I even got the onset of new pain (like I needed that) in my hips. The hair has basically slowed down to almost a...

    Diagnosed today

    I expected it, so I wasn't exactly shocked, but my doctor officially diagnosed me with fibromyalgia today. Part of me is so relieved because I finally have an answer... I've been struggling for so long, and I just thought I was too sensitive, too out of shape, too lazy, etc. When really, the...
