    Old but New Diagnosis

    My doctor in 2012 diagnosed me with FMS, but I disbelieved her, buying into the "we'll say that when we can't figure out what's wrong with you" myth. And I lived the next four years as if I were a well person and nearly burned out completely. A new doctor diagnosed me with FMS again and told...

    This is what dying feels like, right?

    Diagnosed w/ FM yesterday, although I am no stranger to chronic illness. I have been off work for a couple of years w/ a diagnosis of "severe hypersomnolence" in the absence of any other concrete diagnosis. After a couple of night time studies, my insurer required more evidence that it was...

    My first post

    Hello everyone. My physician's assistant recently encouraged me to join a fibromyalgia support group so here I am. Like many of you, it took a long time (a year for me) to get a firm diagnosis, which I received just last week. Even a year ago I suspected I had the syndrome but my P.A. dismissed...

    I feel stupid , embarassed and alone with fibro

    I was recently diagnosed with FM back in March. This has been about a 3 year process and I'm still not convinced. Three years ago I started having some pain and discomfort in the front and back of neck. Soon after I started having back spasms and they would cause me to be on the couch for a day...

    Newly diagnosed

    Though I've been having increasing pain (and other symptoms) over the last couple of years, I was only diagnosed with fibromyalgia last week. My rheumatologist also thinks I have Sjorgren's syndrome or some other autoimmune condition (maybe lupus). I just had blood work done today. On one hand...

    A "fibro in the news" section?

    I think ever since my husband's diagnosis I've been all over any news articles about fibro management, about new research and so forth. I was wondering if we could maybe have a "fibro in the news" section so we could discuss current news pieces about it? Thanks for your consideration!

    Famous people with fibro

    In my research to help hubby with his diagnosis, I've learned a bit about celebrities or famous names that are battling fibro. The biggest name to me was Morgan Freeman - and this helped my husband a lot, as many of the support things we had seen thus far had been women-oriented. The actress...

    How old were you when you were diagnosed?

    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?
