    finding good doctors

    So I'm pretty sure we can't have a "wall of shame" board for all the dictors (doctors) we have almost all ran into. But now after another move to another state it would be great to be able to see a list of doctors that other CFS/FMS patients have had good treatment from. When my...

    New and I don't feel myself

    "They" tried to diagnose me with fibromyalgia/CFS about five or six years ago and I denied that I had it. I slogged through those five years, surviving, not living. Now I have reached full circle and am ready to admit that either or both fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue account for my symptoms...

    Finally accepting my diagnosis...need help coping

    I have suffered with pain for the last 5 years and just recently was officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I've just realized that I have been in denial of this because it seems so vague since there is nothing seemingly "wrong" or they don't really know what causes it. I have been on...

    What are your strategies?

    Hi everyone, I am new here. I have not been officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but my mother has. I have most of the same symptoms as she does and like it did for her, I think it will take a long time for me to figure out why I feel so terrible all the time. I think it is likely that I...

    Feeling low and pretty lonely

    Hi guys, It's been a while since I've posted on here. Since my last flare I've been doing alright, I've had my good and bad days but on a whole have been doing a lot better than I was doing. Half term week this week, so have had a week off of work, and weirdly this is where I think I have now...

    Random symptoms: Fibro related or not?

    Hi all, As with any new diagnosis, you start to wonder if all kind of other things are related. There are a few symptoms I've noticed that may or may not be related to Fibro (or Celiac) but wanted to ask about: 1. rapid weight loss: I've lost 10lb since March! This is a good thing, since I'd...

    Hi, I'm Peg and I have fibromyalgia

    Hello all, I've been posting on the forum a bit the past couple months, but thought I should make a proper (if very long-winded) introduction. Hi, I'm Peggy, and I have Fibromyalgia and Celiac Disease. I'm in my early thirties and live in Toronto. I work in publishing. I knit a lot. I have a...

    Weather and pain!!!

    Hi Everyone! I'm new to this forum and to my diagnosis of fibro.. however I've been dealing with it for years. I've been seeing a chiropractor to try to see if it'll help with some of my pain. She told me today that the stormy weather we're having is probably causing my flare up. I saw her...

    Fibro + Celiac + Time-o-the-Month = ARGH!!!

    Hi, Here to vent, obviously. I'm having a rough week. Just when I think "wow, this Cymbalta crap is actually helping", BAM here comes the pain. Was stuck at home on Friday, and again yesterday with the aches. On top of which I'm having bad period cramps this month (first since my diagnosis). On...
