    I'm in denial

    I've done quite a bit of research on fibro because I suspect my husband may have it, although the VA hasn't given him a diagnosis, he does have an rx for Lyrica and Cymbalta. But that's another can of worms. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in college, hypothyroidism when I was 22...

    New...Not New To Fibromyalgia...Flared Again

    I have been through hell and back with the debilitating pain of fibro and the fatigue. I couldn't work, get out of bed to take care of my kids, going to the bathroom took all my effort. I ended up on T3's, and a crazy dose of gabapentin, morphine and tramadol. I ended up staying on this for...

    This makes me doubt fibromyalgia

    At times like this is when I don't think I have fibromyalgia. I was visiting with someone at their house and my feet couldn't touch the floor in the chair I was sitting in. My feet started burning, then my legs starting burning and aching. I was fine before I got there. I have told the doctors...

    Please explain to me a flare

    I haven't been diagnosed yet, but I do have a referral to a rheumatologist. The down side is I can't be seen until February 1. I am not entirely sure I have fibromyalgia, and maybe I am in denial. It just seems like from what I read, most everyone has it much worse than I do pain wise. I have...

    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...

    Howdy!

    Brand new here. Just diagnosed with FM on February 11. Still in partial denial I guess, but the diagnosis explains a lot of symptoms / complaints I have had for quite some time. My RA Doc was extrememly patient (and thorough) with me. The toughest part I have now is starting to realize it won't...

    No Diagnosis,5 years of pain, so depressed

    I am new here. I am sure at some point I will be given the Fibromyalgia diagnosis. I started becoming sick at age 30 when my daughter was around 4. I was a single parent from the beginning and life was great. I had a high paying job, we needed for nothing. She is my life. It kills me now that we...
