I've done quite a bit of research on fibro because I suspect my husband may have it, although the VA hasn't given him a diagnosis, he does have an rx for Lyrica and Cymbalta. But that's another can of worms.
I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in college, hypothyroidism when I was 22...

About a year and a half ago I got strep throat which for the first time in my life I had to spend a week in bed. Never heard of before with me. Got through it and a week or so later got this pain in my right side. A piercing pain that got worse. My Dr. gave me a pain killer that didn't do much...

Newbie here who is finally coming to terms with recent FM diagnosis. The 'brain fog' I get with this is so debilitating. Hope to find others here who can understand what I mean.
Take care all
