Hello my name is William. I was told Friday by a specialist that he is 99% sure I have FMS. He told me that this will never go away and that I will fight it for the rest of my life. I'm only 20 years old and that was the most devastating news of my entire life. Chronic pain fatigue and memory...
Hi everyone, glad to be here. I have had fibro, Hashimaoto Disease and an autoimmune arthritis condition all diagnosed within a year of my last daughter being born in 1995. She has Down Syndrome and it was a shock, life before was very stressful, along with the way I was told in the hospital. I...
First off I should state that I got diagnosed a few months ago with fibromyalgia, since then I've bought so many books… one book in particular "fibromyalgia for friends and loved ones" my parents found it very helpful and answered a lot of questions. My boyfriend (of many years that I live with)...
I think this subject has been talked about before but I can't find it. Does anyone else suffer from hair loss? Every time I take a shower and comb my hair out I will find big clumps of hair in the comb. Do you think it's the condition that causes it or is it the stress of the having the...

Hello,
My name is John and I am part of the unfortunate 10% that has fibro. Mine I believe, was triggered by serious medical issues I went through in 2012. I am a financial advisor and over the years I met many clients that told me they had fibromyalgia. And like many who do not suffer from...
Hi...I am new to all of this, having only had a confirmed diagnosis of Fibromyalgia a few weeks ago. I don't know anyone else with the condition, and I feel a little bit insecure about it all. I also suffer from bi polar disorder...I am worried that people will feel that my pain, burning skin...
I was surprised to run across a good research paper that was focused on uunderstanding how fibromyalgia patients view their condition. Many times this kind of research seems to be focused on identifying ways that the patients are making their symptoms worse by having a bad attitude (which...
