At the same time each day at work, I get an overwhelming urge to lie down. It feels like there's no blood getting to my head, like I'm going to pass out, I start getting a horrible headache. I feel shaky and can't think a coherent thought to save my life. This feeling gets worse and worse until...
So the day finally came for me to go and get my blood work results and talk about treatment options today. 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...

I say the journey begins, because I am just starting to understand what is possibly causing the the chronic pain and fatigue I have dealt with for the last 5 years. And what a journey it is with no end in sight... and I understand there is no end until the end.
That sounded really...

Not a family doctor but a specialist dedicating this new clinic in Bolton to Fibro and the similar afflictions.
I had my initial appointment with her today and I can't express how wonderful it was not to be met with that look of indifference or distain that you can get with others in the...

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia shortly after my c-section, but I believe I had it before that just not as severe. I have PCOS and Graves Disease, but the Fibro is worse than both of them put together. My thyroid disease has gone into remission for the time, so I don't have to take as many...
I was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia over 2 years ago but I think that I have been having it for 20 years. But something happened to me this morning that has never happened before and I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I woke up feeling weak, dizzy, disoriented and shaky...
I had a strange morning this morning. It started when I woke up and was shaking, not like a full blown seizure or anything, but I was shaking. I then got up and was still shaky, my hands were really shaky, and I was light headed and dizzy. I had an appointment to get my final orthovisc shot in...
I have a friend. She is 36. She always had nonspecific symptoms, but after she had her gallbladder removed, she started having severe symptoms. They only got worse after she started and stopped a birth control drug called YAZ.
She is, for the past four years, constantly in pain...she gets...
Hi all, I have not been diagnosed with fibromyalgia (yet) as my doctors think I'm a total hypochondriac by now. I would love to hear what you all with fibromyalgia think of my symptoms.. For the past few years I've been thinking there were several different things wrong with me but now I'm...
Right now, I'm just wanting to curl up into a ball and cry and I seriously think it would help to just get it out. And, I know I am just getting started in this battle which makes me want to cry worse. :cry:
I tried Cymbalta for pain and had a severe reaction to it. Dr. gave me Gabapentin. I...
