You come to my house and I am still in my pjs and my house is not clean/tidy, you think what a lazy slob. Unless you have FM you have no idea why so do not judge.
Do you know how much effort it takes to get showered and dressed when you have barely enough energy to get out of bed? Do you...
My sister-in-law told me to add turmeric/curcumin to my daily diet to help alleviate pain and swelling. She also said to add a pinch of black pepper when I use turmeric because the pepper magnifies the turmeric's effects.
I absolutely do not want to be on medications. I've utilized her advice...
Hey everyone, I'm new to this group, I was just diagnosed with Fibromyalgia yesterday. I guess I kind of got lucky that it didn't take too long to diagnose because I'd already had a ton of blood tests, scans and specialist visits for fatigue and GI problems that started a year ago (which ended...

Alright so I know these same questions get asked quite often and I don't mean to repeat the same old thing, but I would really like some reassurance before setting up a doctors appointment that it's "not all in my head" which has stopped me from going for the last three years now.

Hi, I look forward to reading through the posts and especially would like to find a success story. I started out with various symptoms, like swelling on the backs of my knees, very weak leg muscles to the point where the muscle feels like it is not working although I could use my muscles...
I'm sure that's the heart of most of these discussions (aside from just the experiences themselves), but just a quick recap all in one place...what have you tried that's actually helped you? I'm not certain that I have Fibro (though I have a lot of reason to suspect it) but I do have...
So after a few failed attempts to see different Rheumatologists I finally found one willing to see me. He took the time to really listen to everything I had going on and all of the appointments I've already had. He asked a ton of questions and actually listened to the answers. I was in his...
