    Does any of this sound familiar?

    Hi there - I'm new and am really glad that y'all are out there to be helpful and supportive to those of us who are figuring stuff like this out.

    What age were you diagnosed?

    I don't know if this has been asked or not, but I'm just curious as to what age everyone was diagnosed? I was diagnosed when I was 32 years old. I was told by my Doctor that symptoms and onset generally started when someone was in "early middle age". I'm just curious if this is a common theme...

    Venting here instead of at my friends

    Or worse, my colleagues. Both groups are very supportive, but I feel like they don't need to know that I'm in pain because I slept badly, and I just had to take my earrings out because they were becoming a pain trigger. (I feel rather naked now. Large earrings are my trademark!) I keep...

    Does a water bed help you?

    Does anyone own a water bed? Does it help to reduce pain? I've slept on them in the past and I loved them. It's just nearly impossible to find a water bed dealer in my area.

    Knee pain

    Does anyone else have really terrible knee pain around this time of the year? Mine flares up when the temperature drops in late September/early October. It is nearly unbearable and causes me to avoid exercise. What are your coping strategies for knee pain?
