    New here...flare up!

    Hi all. I have been battling this beast for 12 years, but was only diagnosed a few years ago (CFS diagnosis in 02). All these years, I've had flare ups, but some just seem to be worse.

    How Fibromyailgia Has Affected Me

    I've already been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, after which I promptly pissed off my Rheumatologist by saying I thought nobody believed that to be a legitimate diagnosis. He said, "Well, I do." I've always had bad luck with doctors. They always say I have an unusual case. Nothing is ever easy...

    Oh my Word!

    After a 6 week hiatus, except for the fatigue, the pain is back big time. I helped out at church with VBS as I needed to stay with my granddaughter anyway. It was only for 3 days. The 2nd day I knew I was going to be in trouble. The last day I would not have gone at all if it wasn't for my...

    Cymbalta withdrawal horrors

    I was reading in another site, (people's pharmacy), about all the people having such trouble withdrawing from Cymbalta. From "brain zaps" to severe anxiety, vomiting, diarrhea, migraines and on and on. These symptoms can last months or a year or more. Most doctors don't even know about this as...

    Have an interview for a much less stressful job but can I do it?

    I am home from work again. Today it's a colitis flare-up, fatigue and headache. I had put in my name on a job that sounded like it would be kind of fun and would be at a new agency. I think I'm ready to leave. Some other circumstances have made it very painful for me to work there. I am a...

    Another Dr. , Another frustration - when will I know what's wrong?

    Sigh, all I want for Christmas is a doctor who will figure out what the heck is wrong with me! :confused: So my rheumatologist does not treat Fibro, he "only excludes it as a possibility" None of the tests he ran came back with a clue as to what might be the cause of my fatigue, muscle pain...
