    Do you have any of these clinical findings?

    Hi, I have not posted here much, mostly because of my frustration about having my Rheumatologist insist that all I truly have is Fibromyalgia with a few other unrelated autoimmune issues. It's frustrating for me not to have a diagnosis that my other doctors generally believe exists. I'm not a...

    Here Goes The Neighborhood

    Hey Everyone! I don't mean to come-off overly clinical but for ease of reading and to keep a long (oh, so very long) story short, I will do a quick synopsis of my stats and diagnosis. Let's see...I'm an overweight (okay fat) white gay (far from fabulous but still sometimes funny) male 45 years...

    Sjogren's Syndrome

    I was diagnosed with Sjogrens Syndrome a few years back. It all started with my severe dry eyes. My left eye actually does not make any tears, and the right one just 2 mm. This was done with a Schirmer's Test which they use a piece of special paper in your eye to measure your tears. Normal...

    Hello Everyone

    I am glad to have found this forum. I do not have fibromyalgia, however, I do have Sjogrens' Syndrome. It is an autoimmune disease that gives me overwhelming fatigue and chronic low back pain. I am hoping to get an insight for dealing with chronic pain.

    Autoimmune something or other... maybe

    Hi, About a year ago my Rheumatologist said that I most likely have Fibromyalgia, and I'm OK with that, sort of. For as long as I can remember I have had symptoms that fall into the FMS list. I'm a 66y/o male and my memory is affected by something, so forgive my historical references, they are...

    How Fibromyailgia Has Affected Me

    I've already been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, after which I promptly pissed off my Rheumatologist by saying I thought nobody believed that to be a legitimate diagnosis. He said, "Well, I do." I've always had bad luck with doctors. They always say I have an unusual case. Nothing is ever easy...
