Obviously a huge problem with fibro, chronic fatigue etc is finding pass times that are enjoyable but not overwhelming. I have enjoyed (and occasionally still do but not regularly) horse riding and fishing but found problems with both. Then last year I started getting into photography starting...
Hi
I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia for a few years now, and have it pretty under control with the use of 60mg Cymbalta. I was told by a nurse friend that she read that your thyroid might have something to do with Fibro so I went to get it checked. Came back normal, but my iron levels...
Hello, I am Ambrosia, and I suffered from chronic pain for nearly 22 years before I found a person who could treat my condition. I was abused as a child and sustained compounded injuries in my spine from being beaten on a daily basis. I developed excruciating back pain at a young age, which led...
This was very interesting... an article I read recently. It makes sense when you think about it. Turns out that tons of ever-present drug seekers are claiming to have fibro pain just to get medication. :cry:
Maybe everyone else already knew how widespread this is, but I didn't. And I'm...
After nearly 20 years of having fibro, I figured I needed some fellow support. Since no one in my family knows what it's like, it's hard for them to understand, as you all well know. A little background. I have been married nearly 22 years and have three children - 20, 19, and 16. I'm also a...
Out of all the drugs on this planet, are there any that help fatigue? My rheumatologist put me on plaquenil 5 years ago, and almost overnight I was well again and my fatigue was gone. I am in a major flare up and have been sick since early February. I'm tired, feel inflammation, and some...
Hello, I am relatively newly diagnosed with fibro (3 months ago). For me it seems like I've been struggling with the pain and degeneration for more than 6 years. My father's name for it is "the creeping crud." I wonder if others have the same trouble I do with the pain in your hands and feet...

:) Okay, so after a week and a half of taking drugs to combat acute sinusitus and tonsilitus, finally start to feel better only to have my left knee patella tendon start to hurt this past Wednesday. Sitting in bed today with the leg elevated and an ice pack on it....so I guess I post this to...
I am 26 years old and I have a 6 year old daughter that is my world. Right after my daughter was born in 2007 I was in a very bad car accident with her father/ my fiance, neither of us were wearing our seat belts so he went through the windshield and passed away instantly. While i was...

We have one office in my town that specializes in fibro and one thing they do is test for a bunch of viruses and give antivirAl drugs if you test positive, I thought that was interesting. I have to get a referral from my PC though.
