    Hi, New to the Forum but Not to Fibro

    I was diagnosed with FMS several years go after a surgery that I never seemed to recover from. It took many frustrating dr visits, a multitude of tests, and years of fighting to get the treatment that works for me. While I do not have my entire life back, I am at a place where I can function...

    Turned away by Rhuemetologist?

    I was officially diagnosed as have fibro by a Rhuemetologist yesterday, but I'm not new to chronic pain or fatigue. I've been in pain every day, at least to some extent, since a car accident four years ago. My pain almost completely went away (stayed at a 1-3 every day) while pregnant then...

    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...

    Does your monthly cycle cause flares?

    I've noticed that my monthly cycle causes me to flare. Everything seems worse. Of course, I'm in pain because of being on my period itself, but I also have more joint pain and I am ever more tired when it's that time of the month. Has anyone else noticed this too? To add, it also seems to...

    Extra Sensitive Skin?

    Hello, I've been to multiple doctors for my chronic pain, and one of the possibilities was fibromyalgia. My skin randomly gets super sensitive to the touch.
