    is it autoimmune

    Hello

    Hi i was diagnosed with Fibro & CFS in 1993, but it probably started around 1988. I also have autoimmune conditions as well. I have noticed my symptoms revolve through a 7-8 year cycle of severity. I have accepted that my life has limitations now and work hard to have as normal a life as...

    Feeling Alone with this new diagnosis

    This is my first posting and I guess I'm just looking for help coming to grips with the fact it's not something you can just fix or have surgery for and feel better. After having my Appendix rupture, kidney stones, infection, DJ stent and then Gallstones lead to the removal of my Gallbladder...

First, my blood work came back normal and negative for the list of test run to rule out autoimmune diseases and other illness that could be causing my chronic fatigue and pain. Big relief...

    Finally got to see a rheumatologist

    After 4 months of waiting to get in, I finally got to see a rheumatologist yesterday. During the appointment the Dr said that fibro is always a secondary symptom of some other issue that she suspects that she can treat. This would be great news if there is something else that can be treated...

    Gluten and the staff of life

    It’s doubtful that the biblical staff of life exists any longer. In the 1960s and 70s, genetic engineering transformed wheat and other grains into poorly nutritional but more profitable products. Engineered grains have challenged physiology and general health. The culprit appears to be glutens...

    Social Security questions

    Hello all! First-time poster. I apologize for the pending text wall. I'll keep it as brief as possible. I've had fibro/chronic fatigue, plus a small slew of other problems, since I hit puberty. It was always bad, but it got progressively worse until I was about 22 (I'm 25 now). By the time I...

    Ignorance of People

    I've had autoimmune issues since I was 8 years old. I'm 34 now, so I've been 'sick' longer than I haven't been. It's a way of life and I can hide it pretty darn well. My parents have retired in Mexico and I spend, at least, the winters there, with them. The stable and not cold weather makes a...
