    What has helped me...

    1. Autoimmune Paleo Diet 2. Chiropractor / muscle work 3. Alleve 4. CBD oil when necessary I HIGHLY recommend the diet. My pain level went from an 8/9 down to a 5 within 3 days. I do have to take Alleve every day, but it is manageable most days now.

    Autoimmune Trio. 3 is enough, thank you.

    I went to my rheumatologist yesterday for my RA and was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia. This on top of also having Hashimoto's disease. No more, please, I've had enough. I thought I was just in a bad flare for my RA but dr. said she had suspected it for a while. Oh well, one more thing to...

    Why Fibromyalgia Pain Feels Different

    For Amy Mullholand, simple chores like washing the dishes or making breakfast can be incredibly challenging. “On a good day, I can get through the cups and the silverware, then I must sit for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Then I tackle the bowls. Then I sit and rest,” said Mullholand. “On a bad...

    Diagnosed Yesterday

    I was diagnosed with FM yesterday by a rheumatologist. This was after months of testing by my GP for the extreme fatigue and brain fog. I chalked the pain up to 'overdoing it' because everything started in April, when I began doing more outside yard work. A friend asked if I had considered the...

    Soft Tissue Rheumatism

    Hello everyone, This is my first post on here! I've been struggling with psoriatic arthritis (autoimmune) for coming one ten years now, but I've only been diagnosed with fibromyalgia since last year. I had been struggling with pain much worse than my PsA should have caused, and I finally found...

    I have been struggling with fibromyalgia for over two years now. I also have another autoimmune called sjogrens. There are days where I am unable to take even a few steps, and then others where I can walk around 40 yards. The fog, and the pain are unbearable. My question is, does anyone out...

    Newly Diagnosed, yet not sure my symptoms fit...

    Hi there, I'm new here and was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia by my rheumatologist. She didn't seem totally confident with the diagnosis but sort of as a way to "give me something" and send me on my way. This is going to be long but I would so appreciate some thoughts. Here's some...

    Recent diagnosis & overwhelmed with despair.

    I'm new to the forums and have been reading a bit. I have so many symptoms that no doctors (and I see many) will give me an answer or solution other than medications that will make me sicker. I feel like I'm slowly dying, literally, and I can't for the life of me understand why doctors simply...

    Fear of being labeled an imposter

    I've been dealing with chronic pain increasingly over the last two years. (I think longer, but I really started noticing it a couple of years ago.) I had my first appointment with a rheumatologist and he said I have fibromyalgia, and he thinks I also have an autoimmune condition. He ordered a...
