Hi everyone, my name is Season and I'm new here. This is the first time I've ever been on a forum so not quite sure how it all works. I'm a 35 year old woman who has had FMS / CFS since I was 18. I just can't cope anymore. My entire life has been hell and with FMS / CFS these illnesses have...
Hello everyone. !st I want to say I really appreciate having this place to come to where people actually understand what it is like to have fibro. NO ONE in my family has a clue or has ever shown any interest in trying to understand.

My sister who has fibromyalgia also has a gambling problem. She gives money for the mortgage every month, but it's not enough to cover her share and the bills. I usually end up selling jewelries, going to coin-star to make up for the difference or borrow money from friends. I've been behind on...

Hi is anyone living in Canada that can advise me on Disability for Fibromyalgia. I had to quit my job as a PSW. The pain was so bad that I couldnt do it anymore. Now I am having trouble paying bills. Any information would be appreciated.
Tomorrow my second application for disability will be mailed.

I am all alone at work this morning, and will be for a few more hours. I work in a small office, and my co-workers are all coming in late because they have to work the evening, or sick (one of my co-workers has Fibro too!) I'm struggling a lot to accomplish anything because I'm just so tired...
I start my day with frequent awakenings during the night/early morning hours, this is insomnia. I use this time to my advantage by making my lists of things to do, doing the household bookwork, paying bills, planning for the day ahead just in case I actually feel well enough to do things.
