Hi...I am new to all of this, having only had a confirmed diagnosis of Fibromyalgia a few weeks ago. I don't know anyone else with the condition, and I feel a little bit insecure about it all. I also suffer from bi polar disorder...I am worried that people will feel that my pain, burning skin...
Hi. I was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (July 18th).
I'm mostly just processing at the moment. I'm 21 years old, so it's a long road ahead. I'm trying to remain optimistic about treatment. But it's hard when I can barely make it through my work day. I put so much of my identity into...
The title seems a little silly but I didn't know what to write... haha

My husband is 31 and was just recently diagnosed. But I guess what I am wondering is if there is any 'average' age of diagnosis? Do symptoms peak at a certain point in someone's lifespan?
How old were you when you were diagnosed?

Yesterday the Rheumatologist said I had CFS and developing fibromyalgia. When I saw him 6 months ago I had a couple of the Fibro pressure points, yesterday I had...
I was interested if anyone else has been diagnosed with PTSD? When I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia after months of testing for everything under the sun, my doctor said that makes sense. He was referring to my PTSD and acquiring fibromyalgia. He said that there's a link.

I expected it, so I wasn't exactly shocked, but my doctor officially diagnosed me with fibromyalgia today.
Part of me is so relieved because I finally have an answer... I've been struggling for so long, and I just thought I was too sensitive, too out of shape, too lazy, etc. When really, the...
