Hi all. I have a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia/CPS and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which is a joint and connective tissue disorder which causes great pain in the joints.
I have a 6 year old son and am a newly-wed. My husband is a disabled veteran who also lives in chronic pain, so I have a support...
I am new here. I am sure at some point I will be given the Fibromyalgia diagnosis. I started becoming sick at age 30 when my daughter was around 4. I was a single parent from the beginning and life was great. I had a high paying job, we needed for nothing. She is my life. It kills me now that we...

I am no longer employed. Therefore, I have no insurance. What I do have is the Share of Cost through Public Assistance, and they keep raising it each month. So to this day, my share of cost is $1629. I have to meet that amount before anyone will see me. I say all this to say I am having...
So this is going to sound random and odd, but I just cant figure it out. I am always sick. It seems to be around the time I am supposed to get my monthly cycle. I get a rash all over my arms, my throat gets sore and I am in tons of pain. It is happening right now. I am waiting for state...
Really been struggling the past few weeks, I'm pretty bullheaded but I'm worn out :( Can barely function today, can't wait for quitting time so I can go home and just lie down. This site looks great, I'll be on regularly looking for coping assistance and support.
