This was very interesting... an article I read recently. It makes sense when you think about it. Turns out that tons of ever-present drug seekers are claiming to have fibro pain just to get medication. :cry:
Maybe everyone else already knew how widespread this is, but I didn't. And I'm...

I would like to now if anyone is having difficulty working, The demands of having a job is over whelming. That causes alot of stress to me, even though they tried to accommodate by reducing my hours, I still couldn't manage to get out of the door. I had to try to walk normal and fight the pain...

Hi all, Newbie here. This is the first time I have ever joined a forum. So, Please bare with me. :smile: I was diagnosed a year ago in January. It seems like I have been trying to find out whatever I can about Fibro. I don't understand why doctors think it's in your head. Is that just an excuse...
