    In Need of a Diagnosis...

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a diagnosis from a doctor? The reason I ask is because I've seen two rheumatologists. Neither one gave me a diagnosis, even though it is pretty obvious to anyone who observes me that I DO have fibromyalgia. I've read that many doctors are very...

    Hello!

    I am 39 and just recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia after a myriad of doctor's visits and blood work tests. I've been placed on a extended release NSAID pain reliever which seems to help somewhat. However, I'm still struggling with consistently getting a good night's sleep and the subsequent...

    Massage cause extreme pain

    Hello all, Although I still have not been diagnosed with fibro (at this time doc just keeps claiming it's myfascial syndrome) I had yet another incident that makes me think that I may have fibro. Being that my doctor hasn't given me any guidance or direction on how to manage my "myofascial...

    TENS unit for pain adverse reaction??

    I bought a TENS unit a few days ago and have been using it daily. I went to the doctor yesterday they checked my BP and the left arm was 74/48 and the right was 98/54. I'm not sure of the bottom numbers so don't quote me. I've always had low blood pressure but not that low especially in the left...

    newly diagnosed, feeling lost.

    Hi all :-) I have only just been diagnosed (2 weeks ago) with fibromyalgia, and to be honest I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around and accepting it. For the last few years I've had ongoing hip and leg pain following a car accident and numerous tests have shown no answers, leading to...

    Old but New Diagnosis

    My doctor in 2012 diagnosed me with FMS, but I disbelieved her, buying into the "we'll say that when we can't figure out what's wrong with you" myth. And I lived the next four years as if I were a well person and nearly burned out completely. A new doctor diagnosed me with FMS again and told...

    Brief vent about my ex

    Dear Ex-Husband/Father of my Children, Don't tell me that your back (probably a slipped disc) and work are preventing you from doing what you need to do for your (special needs) children when I have been dealing with fibromyalgia (undiagnosed until this year) for years and work a minimum of 50...
