    Hello, My Fibro Story

    Fever & Balance

    Hi all, I need a bit of advice. I've had really troublesome balance problems today, to the point of nearly toppling over and numbness on the left side of my face and I keep having what feels like a fever on/off hot, clammy, sweaty that sort of thing. Are fever and balance problems common with...

    Nice to meet you all! I wish it was under better circumstances...

    Hi everyone. My name is Sarah and I’m 33, married and without kids (hopefully someday!). I live in a small town in Washington state. I can’t work anymore, but when I did I was a special education paraeducator. I was officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia 3 months ago, but I think I may have had...

    Solomon

    Hi, I have been struggling for a number of months since having pneumonia in May. I had complete renal failure and nearly died. Since then I have severe joint pain, which I thought was osteo arthritis, and a severe headache which never goes away. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

    Loss of support from family and friends

    [INDENT]Hello ... I'm PhillyFibro, and have had FMS for nearly 30 years. It was like a bad nightmare for 7 years before I was diagnosed in 1994. OK, so I wasn't a nut job, there's a real illness here. I believed knowing what was happening would be a giant help. But it took years to find...

    The Uncertainty of the Pain/Fatigue

    What I hate the most (today) about suffering from fibromyalgia is how I never know what my limit for activity is until I've suddenly reached it. I will be in a "normal" state of sensitivity, aching, stiffness and set about a task- and complete it. I rest for a bit, and I set about another...

    I think I have FM, but MD has not diagnosed

    I started having pain back in 2011 after I began a part-time job that was more physical than I had performed before. I was just into my 40s, so not a good idea I guess since all my jobs had been sedentary before. I was in decent shape though and it was just part-time, so I didn't think...

    Anyone try a plant based diet?

    My new acupuncturist placed me on a strictly raw veggie diet (sans nightshades) for the past week. That's right, salads only, no fruit, no grains, no nuts, no cooking, just RAW VEGGIES. I used to be a serious carnivore and a terrible eater of processed foods and sugars. I've been working on a...
