    Mottled skin anyone?

    In relation to other inherent challenges facing those with FM this is small in the scope of things but was concerning to me nonetheless. I've been watching a pale spotty brown section on my right forearm for about a year now...it's about a 3" oval. No changes lately. So I'm reading this...

    Migraines

    My neurologist told me that my headaches stem from stress. When my neck gets tense, it goes up to my head. It's a fibro thing, he says. I never thought of it that way. Anyone else have chronic migraines? If so, what do you take for them? I was prescribed Imitrex.

    What Sleep Meds Help You?

    Hi Everyone, I am new here. I have been dealing with Fibro since the late 1990's. I was taking Elavil for sleep for years. I was sleeping well with it but still having pain. About a year and a half ago my Doc took me off of it so I could take Zoloft in the day. I also suffer from bad PMS and...
