    Fibromyalgia and Addiction

    Here's a question for everyone with Fibromyalgia, which I feel isn't explored enough. It's like the elephant sitting in the same room which no one acknowledges. How have you controlled your pain before diagnosis? I abused alcohol for years, even spent time going to Alcoholics Anonymous. But I...

    Become your own ADVOCATE as much as possible

    I learned this a long time ago, thank goodness....doctors spend so little time with us and we leave their office knowing almost as much as we knew when we went in. Firstly, request copies of your labs....learn to study them and understand them. Address the highs and low range labs...those...

    sodium oxybate, pramipexole (Mirapex), ropinirole

    I've been reading some stuff about Dr. AJ Holman having good results with treating Fibromyalgia with these drugs. Has anyone tried these therapies or had treatment from Dr. Holman before he retired?

    First time visit

    Hi, This is my first time doing this and I hope it gives my family and friends a break from me. When I was diagnosed (about 4 years ago) I really didn't believe I had it. The only thing I knew about it was the commercials on TV for the drugs. I had a gall bladder attack and the doctors did...
