I haven't been diagnosed yet, but I have a referral to a rheumatologist this coming Tuesday. My referral states: possible arthritis or fibromyalgia.
I have been asked by friends and family before if it could be fibromyalgia. Every time I looked it up, I didn't think so. Mainly because I don't...
After about 4 years of pain that was ultimately diagnosed as fibromyalgia, I spent almost a year almost pain-free, and was experiencing the full joy of life and looking forward to returning to the career that I love. Then - boom! For the last month I have had a recurrence of the icy/ burning...
Has anyone else ever had any experience using gabapentin to treat fibromyalgia? I had a friend who was prescribed this drug for pain associated with diabetes. Knowing that I suffered from insomnia and chronic pain, both from fibromyalgia and Scheuermann's Disease, she suggested that I try some...
