Hi everyone:)
I'm new to this forum but unfortunately I'm not new to fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed 2 years ago, suffered for 6 years in total but had a hard time being diagnosed.
I'm a mum to a teenage daughter and work full time, both are basically only made possible by taking my meds...

First time on a FMS site and my biggest question is what tips can you share about daily living with FMS. For instance, I have had to hire a housekeeper to clean and vacuum for me.
Many days I rest for 20-30 minutes, then get up and around for 20-30 min. Which means I never accomplish what I...
I was finally diagnosed with Fibro last week. I have been living with chronic pain and fatigue for years. The past six months has been brutal. Things I once loved to do our now impossible. I feel alone. None of my family or friends seem to understand. They would playfully make fun of my daily...
Hi all, I was diagnosed with fibro a couple of years ago. But after describing my symptoms to my Rheumy we decided that I've probably had this for about 20 years. I've always had pain in my shoulders and lower back. The 'don't touch it' pain that makes you want to cry just getting dressed.
I...

I was wondering if any of you have ever heard this story. I told my friends about it and now they seem to understand a little bit better that there is a limited amount of things that I can do every day.

My story begins about seven months ago. I woke up one morning with horrible dizziness, nausea, and headaches. I visited my PCP who initially thought I was having migraines and that this pain would go away. The pain didn't go away and so when I returned, he ordered a CT scan of my brain which...

I have been dealing with RSD and Fibromyalgia for 10 year. My husband will not rub my back, saying because I won't rub his and that his back hurts because he works. My kids who are 20 and 21 will not help around the house, they both say, because they work, leaving all the housework to my 17...
