Cant think of why its taken me this long to join a group. I have suffered for 13 years now. It all started with my first hip replacement in 2003 at the age of 35 when active joint replacements were still in an expiremental stage. Since, I had a second replacement on the other hip in 2008, when...
Hi everyone,
First off my thanks to all you fellow sufferers, may you have a pain free day!
I was diagnosed with fibro in 1989, got SSD on the first try, which as many of you know it is not easy to do. It has been a long road but found a Rheumy about 15 years ago who finally prescribed...
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away... sorry, I could not resist. That is just one of my other conditions rearing its head, StarWarsNerd-itis. Hey, we have to find something to laugh about, right?

My name is Br. John ... I'm a Benedictine Monk and have been recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Having said that, the Specialist believes that I have had it for many years but was undiagnosed because of my physicians unwillingness to refer me to a Rheumatologist. My GP just thought it was...
