    Co-existing Conditions

    I've never met someone who only had the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. I have many other medical conditions, and I know at least many, if not most or all others with Fibromyalgia are in the same situation. Some of my other conditions are: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Costochondritis, Migraine, IBS...

    Where to turn

    I am at my wit's end. I don't know where to turn anymore. I am feeling so depressed all of the time. My doctor has tried me on at least 6 different depression medications, Cymbalta, Effexor, Fetzima and so on and so forth. None of them seem to work. I get more and more depressed by the day...

    I'm in denial

    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...

    Constant agonizing pain

    The problem I see with Fibromyalgia is that it is still not understood why the fibrous muscle tissue forms and continue to build without ever healing. I believe the nerves that run through these muscle fibers are constantly causing the pain we all feel. I have had electrical muscle stimulation...

    I think I have FM, but MD has not diagnosed

    I started having pain back in 2011 after I began a part-time job that was more physical than I had performed before. I was just into my 40s, so not a good idea I guess since all my jobs had been sedentary before. I was in decent shape though and it was just part-time, so I didn't think...

    Getting Fibrinogen levels checked

    Wouldn't be a bad idea to get Fibrinogen levels checked, all those dealing with Fibro. Elevated fibrinogen both predicts and causes cardiovascular disease .... The connection doesn't get any more intimate than that. .... chronic inflammation, pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, poor...

    Update

    Saw the rheumatologist today and she confirmed what my PCP had diagnosed which is fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. She did an extensive exam including blood work and x-rays of my neck and shoulders. She recommended some changes in medication and perhaps some aqua therapy. I am...
