Hi everybody,
After a recent diagnosis of FM, concurrent with CFS and depression, I decided to come in search of the support and info from other sufferers.
I dont know what I'm looking for really... I think I'd love to hear some anecdotal evidence of what works to help with these conditions...
I haven't seen a doctor of any sorts except a massage therapist, a midwife for the birth of my son, and a chiropractor here and there until this past winter when I established care with a new doctor.
How would you go about discussing fibro/cfs with a new doctor.:shock:
I kind of have a little...
Hi everyone. I have been exhausted for a few years. I don't sleep well at all. I have constant pain, but particularly in my knees and lower back as well as between my shoulder blades. I was diagnosed a couple years ago with CFS. I was diagnosed when I was about 12 with major clinical depression...

Saw this video on youtube a while back and though wow this is like the story of my life. Thought I might share with with you guys here, maybe I'll help somebody out.

Anyone here had success with TCM or Meditation? I am thinking of giving them a try, just wondering if anyone has any advice or good stories with them here.
My wonderful new doc has been great working with me to find new tools to dampen the fibro fire. In addition to the elimination diet (which has been eye-opening), she had me begin taking magnesium malate a month ago as a trial to see if it would work for me. I am happy to report that I have been...
Since coming here and being undiagnosed for so long, all the while thinking I for sure have fibro, I am starting to rethink things a little bit and could use your input.
Are there some of you who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia who do NOT have the classic "tender pain points"? Are there...
