    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...

    Who to believe?

    I was seen at one of the top hospitals in the US for my symptoms. I saw a rheumatologist, neurologist, infectious disease doctor, allergist, GI, and the pain clinic. I got what I like to call a 'non-diagnosis' of fibromyalgia. I tried a few medications that did more harm then good...

    Fibro, Gitelmans, IBS, oh my!

    For my 21st birthday I didn't drink. I didn't go out. I sat on my couch the entire day because I was in so much pain. And I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. On top of fibro, I have asthma, IBS, GERD, urticaria, and chronic migraines. After the fibro diagnosis I was diagnosed with a TMJ...

    Wrong diagnosis? ?

    Hi , I'm not sure whether to be happy or discouraged. I was told by my disability lawyer that he read thru my medical records file and he did not see a diagnosis for Fibromyalgia. Furthermore, I went to my sleep doctor today and she said that my diagnoses are Chronic Pain Disorder or maybe...

    I'm new to all this kind of thing but my doctor thought it might be a good idea. So many people think just because I am young (44) and a man that I should be fine and have no problem getting around or have any pain. But they are wrong. I wish that was true. I have been diagnosed with...
