I'm at a stuck point with doctors for the moment. My neurologist that diagnosed the fibro doesn't actually treat it and my primary doctor refused to do anything for me, including focusing me a referral to a rheumatologist as well as just being rude. I managed to leave his office without going to...

I just wanted to let this out: My doctor needs to go back to school.
What's up with all of these Old School, old mindset and proud doctors who wont listen to us. Trust me, I have better things to do with my time than lay around the house in excruciating pain, forgetting my thoughts before they...

So my husband who is normally very thoughtful and supportive came home from work last night and when he realized I was in my fourth day of a killer migraine decided to question my medical choices. I was SO super annoyed because duh if I have been in a lot of pain for four days I think that gave...
I have been handling my fibromyalgia diagnosis for about 3 months, along with the degenerative disc disease diagnosis that I received at the same time, pretty well. In September, I suddenly lost use of my left leg for unknown reasons. The best guess anyone gave for this happening was a nerve...

Hello everyone, I'm new to the board and joined because I want to share something I've found that has helped me tremendously! I started taking MSM or sulphur and I no longer have restless legs (pulling) or the terrible leg pain I experienced especially when I got into bed at night. You can...

I have read so many threads and can relate to so much. It is apparent that we all have so much in common yet our experiences can be so personal. It is great to have such a forum, if not to seek out help but to know that we are not alone in our daily struggles. I wish everyone could have a...

I have been so tired today! I think it might be because I took my migraine medication last night when I went to bed. It's never had that kind effect on me before. I am becoming a little bit perkier as the day goes by, which makes me think my body is processing something out of my system. If it...

So.... ANYONE??? 15lbs in a month 6wks most

I just spent 16 hours in bed and I'm STILL tired. I have never felt exhaustion like I've had the last couple days, in my life except when I had the flu very bad and obviously there were other symptoms than fatigue with that.
How do YOU deal with this for days on end?
I have a lot of guilt...
