We are in a situation right now where our family is having to deal with social services. As I've shared before, my husband has a prescription for Percoset because of his chronic pain.
The other day the social worker pretty much said that we will not be able to get our children back unless he...
Hi everyone, I have been having aches and pains for 3 weeks now. I read so many articles about fibromyalgia, and I know you have to have chronic pain for 3 months before being diagnosed. But of course my Dr. scared me and said I may have it. I doubt it very much, and I just need some insight. I...

That said, I am really not here so much for...
