    New to the forum, but not new to FM

    I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2005 and have been disabled since then. I only recently found these forums, but the timing is good. I just moved from North Carolina to Washington, so I lost what little support network I had. I'm much closer to family though, and that's a huge improvement...

    new doctor, how to make the best of the appoinment

    Hi, Yesterday I went to a doctor after 3 years of avoiding doctors. (had lost all my trust in doctors and hospitals, after they managed to mess up the basic/common injuries I had sustained after a fall. I now suffer even more thanks to their mistakes.) I guess I am lucky that I live in a...

    Oh Doctor Doctor You Know What It Is!

    Hello fellow sufferers. So glad to find this forum! So, some background to start. I'm a 61 year-old woman who has suffered from pain for a long time, some for a reason (degenerated discs in my lower back and neck) and some unexplained. But it's always there, sometimes quiet, sometimes screaming...

    famous TV doctor denies fibromyalgia to exist

    Ok, I will have to cool you down before I go any further - this is not a famous TV doctor in the States, the UK or anywhere in Europe. Thankfully I suppose... I won't mention where, but it is in the country where I live and this is so so so frustrating. How dare he???!!! The majority of the...

    Leg weakness

    I have had FM for 14 years now, but 5 years ago my legs quit working right. I finally went to a Physical Therapist and my quad muscles are the only muscles in my legs that have become very weak. They wont let me squat my full body weight and yet the rest of my legs seem to work just fine. I...

    stress and pain and lack of medication

    Those of us with fibro all know that stress aggravates this condition. I had a really strong example of that yesterday. Had to do my taxes, which is always a highly stressful thing for me. First, anything having to do with numbers and money has always stressed me; I know that's silly, but it...

    Keep a positive on on the end result

    This past weekend, it suddenly hit me. Intense/severe constant pain in my upper right abdomen. Since I am 22 weeks pregnant, I freak out not knowing if something is happening to baby. I go to the doctors on Friday and find it is just round ligament pain (Ligament - kind of like a rubber band...
