    Diagnosis process

    Hello, I was just wondering how long it took people to get their fibro diagnosis? My physiotherapist told me that it sounds like I have it and to go to my GP - he has said it sounds likely that I do have it, but we still have to diagnose it and discount any other illnesses etc. To my...

    Start medication before diagnosis?

    Hi, New here. I suspect I likely have Fibro, and my pain has gone from occasional to more or less constant (mostly in my arms and legs). I saw my GP last week, who also agreed it could be fibro, and did offer to start me on drugs right away for the pain. I can't remember if she said Cymbala or...

    Is it fibromyalgia or endocrine dysfunction

    I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 10yrs ago. I have been studying on it more recently since my insurance company labeled it a traumatic brain injury. The more I read into great detail about the endocrine system. I found so many similarities between the two. If you are diagnosed with...

    Do you experience a reset in activity tolerance??

    Hi folks, I've been sick for about a year now, and my doc has finally given me a "tentative" diagnosis of fibro. I really wanted the opportunity to speak with folks who have the condition and find out if what I'm experiencing falls in the realm of fibro possibility I guess. Last February, I...

    Flare ups!?! Help. Fairly new diagnosis

Great, finally a diagnosis, however, no relief. I have tried cymbalta and lyrica, both having very little if any effect on the pain...

    Hello from Montreal

    I may be new to the forum but certainly not new to the pain of fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed with this in 2009. It originated as a pain in my chest when I tried to run. I had joined a gym several months prior with a personal trainer and was doing great...until I wasn't anymore. My trainer was...
