Hello fellow warriors!
My name is Raegan. I'm 29 years old from Buffalo, NY. I've been suffering with fibromyalgia daily for the past year, but I've had symptoms since high school. I was diagnosed last fall with fibromyalgia and sleep apnea, and recently with selective IgA (immunoglobulin A)...
For years, my previous doctor told me that I was exhausted and in pain because I had sleep apnea even though I never once snored or stopped breathing in my sleep. He told me I was overweight and all my pain was because I was too fat. (I don't disagree that my weight was an issue, however at this...

I've been "diagnosed" for years, but my DR has only just recently started taking my symptoms seriously. My symptoms have gotten increasingly worse since, it seems every month becomes harder than the one before.

Hello all,
Let me write you a short novel... hahaha
I'm 27 and was recently diagnosed with fibro by a rheumatologist after enduring months of pain, starting with my knees. After seeing my primary, both were x-ray'd and nothing found. I had to fight for a Lyme test to be done and came up...

I have had a bad case of tennis elbow in both elbows now for close to a year. I've learned to cope with it just like the rest of my daily pain and fatigue. I take Naprocyn and use stabilizing supporters on both elbows, which helps quite a bit for a while. I am an artist and musician, so I...
My name is Libbi, I'm (almost) 26, and I have been struggling with fibro and all its related conditions since I was 18.
I'm unemployed due to my health, but I am an artist and writer.
I would love to make some new friends, to commiserate with and be inspired by! :D

I came across the following video put together by an obviously incredibly talented modern artist. I thought it...
