    Hello from Los Angeles

    Hi All, I'm Cynthia and I'm from Los Angeles. I'm here because my husband was just diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in the last couple of weeks. It's somewhat of a relief, as it explains a lot, but we're struggling to find more support for him. Honestly - before his diagnosis I didn't even know...

    In process of getting diagnosis but I know I'm not alone.

    Hi there, I am a female in my mid 20's and I am in the process of possibly being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I began experiencing pain earlier this year in January and thought it was female related issues and was beginning to experience pain walking and just feeling unwell and super tired all...

    Too good to be true?

    Hey guys! The last quarter of the school year is always the most chaotic, so I haven't had time to think much about this until now. I'm hoping you guys can help me understand some thing. Back in April, I saw a specialist on fibro for the first time. My neuro set this up, as a last step to...

    How to deal with joint pain at a standing job?

    Hey guys- I'm new and this is my first post, but my fibro diagnosis is not new. I got diagnosed when I was 12 and have been learning to deal with the constant pain since. I'm 19 now and am trying to be a productive, functioning adult but it's hard. I work at a job where I have to be on my feet...

    So many people here

    When I read your stories I know them all as I read them. I'm gonna share this for me, maybe because I need to. I've survived nearly 20 year with undiagnosed fibro and was diagnosed last month. The struggle brought me to the edge of giving up on life many times but thank God I'm still here...

    They know so little about us

    Thinking back to the current clinic I attended, and the one previously, they barely asked any information beyond the usual drug allergies, chronic conditions, smoking/drinking habits, etc. Their medical history questionnaires didn't ask about any physical routines, food allergies or...

    New to forum, not so new to fm

    Hi, I am new to this forum, and so very happy to have found it. I am a 40 year old mother of 3. I had been diagnosed over 10 years ago by a rheumatologist; however, my primary had me convinced for years that it was a disease that doctors had made up. That they just came up with a name for...

    Abdominal Issues

    Seems like many of us go through various abdominal issues...pain, indigestion, IBS, etc. Just want to see if anyone else keeps track of what sets it off, or if any have had issues pre-fibro diagnosis. Maybe we can find some common ground on connecting factors. I've mentioned in other posts...

    Two weeks after diagnosis.

    I was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago. Having done some research, I realize I've probably had this for several years. Now in my mid fifties, I've finally gotten to where I need some support with this. Fortunately, my doctor is on board. I look forward to "meeting" you all & interacting. Hsmommy

    Newbie

    My name is Tracy. I am new to the site and hoping I can learn more on how people cope with fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed about 5 years ago. I was part of an HMO health plan and just ended up with a diagnosis and no help. I now have different insurance and am searching for a doc that can help. So...
