I am new to this forum and to sharing about this illness. I was diagnosed in 2009, but refused to acknowledge that I have fibromyalgia until about 2 months ago. I never told anyone I had it and I convinced myself I didn't. Every time I feel good, I think that I am going to feel good forever...
So...after years of misdiagnosis and being treated like a drug seeker I was finally diagnosed with Fibro. I am a male and thought my pains were due to sports injuries, and a very bad auto accident. I get epidurals every 3 months and take hydrocodone x3 daily for a pair of slipped discs and...
I was diagnosed with FMS several years go after a surgery that I never seemed to recover from. It took many frustrating dr visits, a multitude of tests, and years of fighting to get the treatment that works for me. While I do not have my entire life back, I am at a place where I can function...

Although I've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia for a number of years yet, I also have ankylosing spondylitis which has been focused as spinal arthritis (now defined as D.I.S.H. in some spinal areas) and thus my pain relief has been focused on both as they interact, not specifically on the FM...

I'm currently waiting on a diagnosis. My doctor seems sure I have either fibro or CFS, but will not diagnose me cuz that's not her field of expertise, and she said its too easy to get a false negative if you're not an expert at putting the pieces together. So, now I wait for a referral, but its...

I have four beautiful children ages 6,8,10,12 and a wonderful husband that are all so sweet and understanding of my condition Fibro/CFS. My problem is my very large extended family and circle of friends that call or drop by almost daily to check on me as I lay on my couch. They all come with...
I have noticed that the colder it gets the more my fingers and toes hurt. They almost feel like they are burning and aching. It is like I have been out side in the winter and have frost bite. Is there anything that can help this? I take 450 mg. of Lyrica daily for my fibromyalgia is there...
Diagnosis confirmed in August. Feel fortunate that I have a good team of docs helping me navigate this new life stage as it seems many of you do not. Primary care doc, rheumatologist, psychiatrist, therapist and CBT--all on the same page with me. Currently taking Cymbalta as I also have...
My research has borne out the fact that fibro is under diagnosed in males and for many years (decades) was viewed as a condition that was a female condition.
Either I am in the wrong type of body or something is amiss because I have been diagnosed with it. I have talked to many people who have...
