    Referred to Rheumatologist

    At first my doctor thought I had anxiety, but a few months went by and the pain/aching has set in. He did a tender point test and some places didn't bother me but he barely pressed down. Other spots felt like sore/tender muscles. He did bloodwork, testing for a long list of things and it all...

    Fibro and autoimmune diseases

    I was wondering if anyone else was diagnosed with Fibro and also autoimmune diseases. I recently had surgery for a esophageal alacasia which is a very rare auto immune disease. And for most of my adult life (I'm 53) I have lived with degenerative bone, disc, and joint disease. Most of my life...

    I'm in denial

    I've done quite a bit of research on fibro because I suspect my husband may have it, although the VA hasn't given him a diagnosis, he does have an rx for Lyrica and Cymbalta. But that's another can of worms. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in college, hypothyroidism when I was 22...

    Wrong diagnosis? ?

    Hi , I'm not sure whether to be happy or discouraged. I was told by my disability lawyer that he read thru my medical records file and he did not see a diagnosis for Fibromyalgia. Furthermore, I went to my sleep doctor today and she said that my diagnoses are Chronic Pain Disorder or maybe...

    I'm new to all this kind of thing but my doctor thought it might be a good idea. So many people think just because I am young (44) and a man that I should be fine and have no problem getting around or have any pain. But they are wrong. I wish that was true. I have been diagnosed with...

    New...Not New To Fibromyalgia...Flared Again

    I have been through hell and back with the debilitating pain of fibro and the fatigue. I couldn't work, get out of bed to take care of my kids, going to the bathroom took all my effort. I ended up on T3's, and a crazy dose of gabapentin, morphine and tramadol. I ended up staying on this for...

    Hi, I am 61 and have been diagnosed with Fibro. At first it started with the restless legs at night (Charlie horses). I was prescribed Gabapentin and help so much but then that went away and then I got the vice grips on both feet, starting on the one side and going across the top of my feet...
