Hi...I'm new here. I'm 46, married with two children (7 and 11 years old) and I was diagnosed officially two years ago but my family doctor was pretty sure I had fibromyalgia for a year before that. It took a long time to get a referral to a specialist here in London. I've tried to adjust diet...
Hello everyone -
I’ve just been recently diagnosed, but have known for several years that I probably had fibro. My mom has it and was disabled because of it and she had seen symptoms developing in me. At her request, I went to see a doctor about it and he was none too happy that I was telling...
I've had polyarticular rheumatoid arthritis since I was about 17 months old (15 now); finally in remission as of late 2015, but I still have chronic pain, fatigue, headaches all the time and some other symptoms. At my last rheumatology appointment just a few days ago, my doctor said she believes...

Hello, I haven't been on here for a while have been dealing with alot. I am now seeing a good doctor that is helping me with my fibromyalgia pain and other things. I am being prescribed tramadol now and gabapentin. The gabapentin is helping me and I'm actually able to decrease my tramadol.
My fibro fog seems to be getting worse, and at times, I feel as if I literally cannot comprehend anything. My brain was always the strongest part of my body, and losing my ability to think clearly is very frightening to me.
I know there has to be something that will help at least mitigate some...
I am so down today. I told my husband I am physically, emotionally, and mentally tired. Everything thing hurts even my butt cheeks. I was thinking that the medication I was on was finally starting to help with the depression but today I'm not so sure. Maybe I'm just having a bad day. I...
