Hello all! I am a 28 yo female and have just recently been diagnosed with FMS and MPS. I have been in a chronic state of pain for the last 2.5 years and, as many of you know, it's been a long ride to get a diagnosis. I have seen a PCP, orthopedist, neurologist and pain management doctor. I...

I am going crazy. I am only 20 years old and it is hard having fibro for many more reasons than just pain. I am never taken seriously when I say I am to exhausted to work even a 25 hour week. When I say I am in pain I always get a response like "Oh, you're young you will be okay." Also because...
This is my first time ever going online for help, but I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 2 days ago. I'm ok with the diagnosis, but when I told my mother she immediately became infuriated! She basically flipped out on me and said it is a fake condition and she is absolutely disgusted by anyone...

The first time was 21 years ago after a stressful lifestyle and was cured completely by pregnancy.

I have FM just like my mother did. I have many skin/food allergies and I am very hypersensitive. I have been taking gabapentin since 2012 for nerve problems that started after my hall bladder was removed. Right after that the arthritis in my back and neck got much worse and I started having...

Hi folks, I've had fibro since 2005. Been through so many drugs it's not possible to list them all. Currently not taking any for Fibro. The last one was Gabapentin but it squeezed my brain on the dose that helped provide relief so a catch 22. I am not on any pain meds (doctors here refuse to...
