    Great smartphone App for FM/CFS!

    Need to find a doctor

    I am really having a difficult time finding someone in my area that knows what the hell they are doing or specialize in fibro and cfs. The rheumatologist i went to that made my diagnosis was kind of rude and very impersonal and just shoved me off back to my primary doc for treatment. Well, now...

    Paleo diet?

    I have been reading as much information as I can about fibro/cfs. Has anyone tried a paleo diet? It seems very hard to do. Is it worth it? Any success? :?:

    waiting for diagnosis, lots of questions

    I'm currently waiting on a diagnosis. My doctor seems sure I have either fibro or CFS, but will not diagnose me cuz that's not her field of expertise, and she said its too easy to get a false negative if you're not an expert at putting the pieces together. So, now I wait for a referral, but its...

    Fibro, Mental Illness, and Youth

    Every case of fibro/CFS is different. In my case, I was diagnosed at the age of 18 following previous diagnoses of Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety Disorder, ADD, and Asthma.

    Insurance!

    I am not happy right now. I received a call from my insurance stating my out of pocket for my Remicade infusions for my psoriatic arthritis will cost me $9,000 per year! Needless to say, I cannot afford that. It was really helping me tolerate the arthritis and works better than the other...
