    Not a death sentence

    Some patients when diagnosed with fibromyalgia go into panic mode and become depressed. This stress is one of the dynamics that accelerates FM. Doctors should give pretest counselling especially to teenage patients who look at it like a death sentence. Post test counselling is also required. The...

    Are there any positives from your pain/Fibromyalgia?

    I know people with chronic health conditions can sometimes dwell on the negative, so I wanted to start a thread where we could talk about anything positive that has come out of our conditions/diagnoses. I used to be a balls to the wall kind of person. I would push through, regardless of how I...

    Misdiagnosis

    Fibromyalgia is one of the most misdiagnosed diseases due to symptom overlap. For instance, widespread pain can be caused by sleep apnea, malignancy, hypothyroidism or lupus which cause fatigue. Doctors need to rule out the symptoms of other diseases as they look for an explanation. A patient...

    Vitamin D Experiment

    I've heard a lot lately about Vitamin D helping at least some of those who have Fibromyalgia, so I'm embarking on an experiment. I can't afford costly lab work to test my pre-experiment Vitamin D level, but I'm pretty sure it's low to non-existent. I've taken it in the past and it has seemed to...

    Co-existing Conditions

    I've never met someone who only had the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. I have many other medical conditions, and I know at least many, if not most or all others with Fibromyalgia are in the same situation. Some of my other conditions are: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Costochondritis, Migraine, IBS...
