    My FM

    In 1983 I was diagnosed with 'Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder'. I had some pain, but had extreme fatigue. IN 1990, at age 43, I had a 'flare up' and saw a rheumatologist who diagnosed FM. What a relief to finally have a definitive diagnosis! All these years I have had occasional flare-ups...

    Disability

    I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 3 years ago. I am a CMA, not CNA, and had plans to go back and get my RN, but now it seems impossible. When first being diagnosed, the pain would wax and wane, as it does now, but the pain was not as persistent and was more tolerable. I, now, have more...

    Jobs/disability

    I am only 24 but my fibro is debilitating 90% of the time. I own an organic cleaning company but that is very hard on my body. My hands have started locking up while trying to clean, I find myself sweating so much I'm dripping sweat onto what I'm cleaning, I also have to sit down sometimes...

    there is no winning

    There's no winning with this disease. Either I'm in pain or can't feel my limbs or I'm dizzy and nauseous. Gabapentin is probably the most mild drug I can take for side effects and yet I still can't handle the side effects. I can't drive because I will randomly start to see double or everything...
