    Howdy

    Mostly upper body pain?

    Hello everyone! I am new to fibro, new to this board. Not even sure I have fibro yet. Internal medicine doc suspects it and referred me to a rheumatologist. Took him two tries to find a rheumatologist who even treats/sees fibro patients. I'm not sure that's what I have. In the meantime (while...

    Going off Cymbalta Cold Turkey

    I know I'm not supposed to do it this way, but it just ended up happening this way. I tried to get an answer from my doc on how to go off it, but he was on vacation and didn't get a response so I thought I'd just skip a day so I'm taking it every other day, then every two days, etc. The...

    New to it all....

    Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about a year ago. I was mad at the diagnoses. I believed for years it was a fake disease. When my rheumatologist said that I had Fibromyalgia I was in complete denial and angry. Now dealing with the reality of the diagnoses and symptoms I am at a...

I posted a thread to general discussions about fibro "lost and confused" which details my journey since I've been diagnosed in 2012. I haven't had much luck in the way of finding the...

    How do you control your pain?

    I have been diagnosed in January with fibromyalgia. I haven't quite figured out a good pain management plan. I am currently on cymbalta and macrobid. Neither really help with my big pain areas just my smaller ones. I have been recently doing knee physical therapy because my knees are the worst...
