    Shocked, frustrated, depressed.....

    My doctor suggested a couple of years ago I might have FM, but I really didn't think so, but I was wrong. I believe after reading about this horrible condition I have had symptoms for about 8 years. Over the last three years I've been dealing with an infection filled abscess which tunnel and...

    What has worked for you? Help

    I'm new here. I was diagnosed with RA 7 years after I started having symptoms in 2007. I started having relief but then I began to have pain again. My SED rates (inflammation) were perfect so my Rheumatologist started changing my meds. Nothing worked for 2 years. One day a student working with...

    Nice to Have Support Finally!

    Hi there! My name is Angela and I have been suffering with Fibro for 5 years now. I had to diagnose myself because I am not normally someone who feels pain like this. It took a lot of blood work, xrays and chatter for me to finally tell my Doctor it may be Fibromyalgia and she agreed. I have...

    Inflatable Cervical Collar for Neck Pain

    I've had neck pain for years, after an injury when I was 12-years-old. My doctor back then gave me a cervical collar to wear, and it helped with my pain. That collar got lost in a move, and I was subsequently re-injured, so my pain is even worse now. These days I do a lot of stretches, as well...

    Still in denial

    Hello. I'm a 34 year old female. I have PCOS and have had depression since before I can remember. I went through some very stressful stuff last year and it sent me into a tailspin physically. After the dust settled I had a hard time walking, talking, sleeping, staying awake and crazy pain. My...

    Apparently it never gets better. You just learn to deal with it.

    I don't even know where to start. The pain is life (as I knew it) ending. The process of elimination is all consuming. The explanation to everyone you care about is like explaining the Big Bang to Evangelists. The medication is never ending, more pills, higher doses, weider effects and changes...

    New member, worried about the future

    The first signs of fibromyalgia came about when I was in college. My arms would be aching after completing blue book tests, and my knees would hurt from climbing stairs all day. I figured this was normal at the time. After about a year or so, however, I found my legs throbbing, my arms...
