    Found a way to be taken seriously by doctors

    I am sure we have all been there - been to a doctor who would not take our complaints seriously. Giving us advice such as 'exercise more, eat more, get out more, do things you like more. it could be depression, take it easy' etc etc etc. It is the one thing we do not need when we are already...

I see a dr Kirby in pensacola which I find he is very unhelpful with information, with holding negative test reports( said everything was normal but it wasn't) My DX is Fibromyalgia, I have all the classic symptoms.

    Anyone else have this kind of pain?

    OK, this is a very weird pain, and I have told several doctors about it and one of them have ever heard of it before. I am wondering if I am the only person who has it! It is in the cartilage of one of my ears --always only the same ear, about one inch below the top curve of my ear. It is a...

    Having problems with Doctor's who believe in Fibromyalgia

    Moved here to Maryland, excited my doctors would be Johns Hopkins, over rated. They sent me out to a doctor at Kernan, awesome doctor, but he no longer is in my network. I am in constant pain. Anyone else have problems with finding a doctor? I don't even like to take pain meds, other doc worked...

    I can't keep staying this drained

    Since being diagnosed a few months ago, I've gone overall downhill. I want to get up and do things even just around the house, but I constantly have no energy and enough pain that most days I can't do much besides fixing something small to eat for myself, my boyfriend, and my 13 year old...

    NUCCA Chiropractor Results Visit 1

    :idea: Think about going to a NUCCA chiropractor (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association). Bottom line: if your spine and body is misaligned, your brain, nerves, and blood circulation are not optimal. Pain is a common result. I've been a FM patient since 1998. Needless to say, I've had...

    Need suggestions

    I'm at a stuck point with doctors for the moment. My neurologist that diagnosed the fibro doesn't actually treat it and my primary doctor refused to do anything for me, including focusing me a referral to a rheumatologist as well as just being rude. I managed to leave his office without going to...

    Teeth tooth issues

    So despite my doctors and such, here's the short story - I've had FMS for probably as long as 20 years. In this time I've gone through some serious dental issues, none of which my brothers have (just a background on relatives who don't have FMS at all) I've had serious decay in my teeth to a...

    Hello, I'm 15 and after a lot of arguments with doctors and hospitals I finally got a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. I'm having a real problem walking distances such as shopping due to the severe pain in my legs. My doctor suggested that I might need a wheelchair to help me have that bit of...
