    Overlapping conditions, so confusing

    I have recently started researching FM because after being diagnosed with it, I was never given information on it. I found a FM website that contained an overlapping conditions page. I have been diagnosed with 11 of the listed conditions. It's interesting to me how some of them tie in. I always...

    Newly Diagnosed, yet not sure my symptoms fit...

    Hi there, I'm new here and was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia by my rheumatologist. She didn't seem totally confident with the diagnosis but sort of as a way to "give me something" and send me on my way. This is going to be long but I would so appreciate some thoughts. Here's some...

    Diagnosed last week.

    Hello, my name is Jillian, I'm 25 years old and last week I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia after numerous tests came back negative for other conditions.

    Massage cause extreme pain

    Hello all, Although I still have not been diagnosed with fibro (at this time doc just keeps claiming it's myfascial syndrome) I had yet another incident that makes me think that I may have fibro. Being that my doctor hasn't given me any guidance or direction on how to manage my "myofascial...

    Pumpkin, really?

    I know that many of us have other medical conditions that go along with Fibromyalgia. One of the major ailments that affects just about everything I do, is IBS. I have the D version, which means diarrhea. I tend not to take medications that supposedly treat diarrhea, because then I end up with...

    Integrative Medicine and Elimination Diet

    I finally got into the Integrative Medicine practice yesterday. It was a very long, 2-hour appointment, but she covered every little nook and cranny of my health. She told me that all my conditions - fibro, IBS, GERD, rosacea - are all because of inflammation in my body. She wants me to go on...

    They know so little about us

    Thinking back to the current clinic I attended, and the one previously, they barely asked any information beyond the usual drug allergies, chronic conditions, smoking/drinking habits, etc. Their medical history questionnaires didn't ask about any physical routines, food allergies or...

    FM/a blood test

    I have been reading about a new Fibromyalgia blood test that claims to be 99% accurate in diagnosing FM and ruling out other conditions. Has anyone read about it or talked to their doctor about it? Has anyone had this test done yet? If so, what are your thoughts? I am seriously considering...

    Here we go again

    I am sitting at my computer getting ready to compose yet another letter to my attorney as to what my conditions are, what my doctors are saying about them and how I feel they prevent me from working. This has got to be the 10th letter I have written on this same subject this year. I am getting...
