    Do you think I should see a doctor about symptoms?

    Hello, I'm posting here because I would like to get thoughts as to whether or not I should get some of the symptoms I have checked out. I'd never heard of fibromyalgia before I started googling random pain. Thing is, I am a pretty anxious person and wonder if a lot of the symptoms I have...

    New member, 27 years after diagnosis, and struggling

    I'm so glad I found this site! I was diagnosed in 1989. At that meeting, the rheumatologist who gave me this diagnosis (I had absolutely no knowledge of fibro) said "Some people go on to live their lives, and others aren't able to ever get out of bed again." I decided I would belong to the...

    Fibromyalgia and Daily Functioning

    Hello, everyone. I was hesitant about joining a support group of any kind, because I felt like it would mainly consist of complaining (on my part), and I didn’t want to annoy people. I finally decided that I was merely being close-minded and that I needed to talk with people dealing with...
