    Diagnosed Yesterday

    I was diagnosed with FM yesterday by a rheumatologist. This was after months of testing by my GP for the extreme fatigue and brain fog. I chalked the pain up to 'overdoing it' because everything started in April, when I began doing more outside yard work. A friend asked if I had considered the...

    Waiting for a diagnosis of something!

    Hi. I'm new here and trying to find some clue as to what's going on with me. I've been having symptoms for about a year. The first one was numbness in my right foot that lasted about a week. A few months later, the numbness/tingling started again in that foot, then spread to the other foot and...

    Anyone trying to live without prescription drugs?

    I took Lyrica a couple years ago for 3 weeks, but stopped due to the side effects...dizziness and constant sleepiness. Now my pain is intense again and my doc prescribed Cymbalta. Sounds like the side effects can be pretty bad with this one too. I really don't want to start taking it. Is...

    New to the forum (UK)

    Hi there. I just joined today after finally getting a bit peeved about my fibro. I was diagnosed last year, but have pretty much had many symptoms for a long time prior to that, like most sufferers. I find I can (mostly) manage the everyday pain in my legs since I was prescribed with Gabapentin...

    Anyone try a plant based diet?

    My new acupuncturist placed me on a strictly raw veggie diet (sans nightshades) for the past week. That's right, salads only, no fruit, no grains, no nuts, no cooking, just RAW VEGGIES. I used to be a serious carnivore and a terrible eater of processed foods and sugars. I've been working on a...

    Newly diagnosed (hello and some background about me)

    Hello from New Hampshire. Just got diagnosed a couple of days ago. I've been a migraine sufferer since I was a teen, but the headaches have changed since I've gotten older and stopped having babies, I'd say about 6 years ago. I've gotten a couple of MRIs done due to the headaches and other added...

    Doctor Doesn't Believe Fibromyalgia is a Real Diagnosis

    Gabapentin Reaction

    A few weeks ago I was prescribed Gabapentin to help with sleep. Earlier this week I was taken to the ER for what was thought to be an allergic reaction to the new med. In truth some of my symptoms were caused by the Gabapentin but not the serious ones. While in the ER blood panels were done...
