My insurance finally approved my sleep study. I go tomorrow night. They didn't tell me a whole lot except to wash my hair but not to put conditioner in my hair:-? Which is funny because I have super thick super long hair that is going to be snarled mess if I don't use some conditioner, and to...

Just yesterday I had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy, I went to see the gastroenterologist today to discuss the results. Well... it was a complete nightmare! This doctor I had never ever seen before left me with even more questions than answers!

Hi, I look forward to reading through the posts and especially would like to find a success story. I started out with various symptoms, like swelling on the backs of my knees, very weak leg muscles to the point where the muscle feels like it is not working although I could use my muscles...
Hi I'm Shannon,
I'm from Australia and I recently had a video created, this is my story of how I came to get Fibromyalgia, this will answer a few questions for people who are concerned, or confused.
I got my blood work back and my doctor wants me in ASAP for more testing. Everything was normal except this:
