    Fibromyalgia and my Wife

    Hello, I'm new to this board. I thought it would be good to share my story. My wife and I were married in 1989. We've had a beautiful life together raising our daughter. Then there was a day back in December 2009 that my wife began to experience pain. She visited the doctor in June 2010...

    Just curious?

    I've read a lot of posts here that talk about FM and Inflammation. Do those of you who have issues with inflammation have secondary conditions that cause it? From everything I've read and from what the "docs" have told me, it is not part of this otherwise "lovely" condition. Just curious if...

    Missing school due to Fibromyalgia?
