    so annoyed

    Once I went on the antidepressant medication last summer I found I could cut down on the pain meds a bit, going from 3x day to 2x day on most days. So last appointment I told the Dr. I could just get a scrip for 2xday. I had a few left over that time, because I had cut down, so did not fill...

    Why are all threads locked?

    I am a new user and while browsing through the forums, I've noticed that nearly all threads are locked.Is that normal for this forum? Do they all get locked after a certain time period or is something else happening?

    Red palms

    I wonder if anyone else has experienced this, I'm not sure if it's fibro related & I'm not due to see my rheumatologist until early next year. Every so often my palms feel really hot and they go bright red & shiny in appearance. I had bloods done for lupus a couple of weeks ago so I assume these...

    Diagnosed after many years

    I am so happy to discover a place to talk about this terrible malady with people who know how I feel. Thank you for accepting me. I have been seeing the same doctor, a general practitioner, since 2011. I have basically complained of the same symptoms all these years. After my quarterly visit...

    Hi- I'm new to the forum:)

    I was diagnosed in spring of 2014 after first trying to eliminate gluten, which helped for a few months and then my pain came back almost worse. I still don't est gluten as I found I do have an intolerance for it and just feel better not having it in my diet. I've been reviewing the forum at...

    Weight Rollercoaster

    Because the internet views rapid weight loss as a good thing, It's been nearly impossible for me to research anything on this. Does anyone experience extreme weight fluctuations, more so loss than gain? I always read about how fibro causes your metabolism to slow and you gain weight. This has...

    Ello All =)

    Ello! Just saying hi. It's been nearly a decade since the chaos began, but only recently did it really start effecting my daily life. As I have very very few people to talk to or vent to or ask advice from on the rollercoaster that is fibro, I figured I'd join a group and maybe make some...

    A whole day of torture

    I don't know if this relates to fibro, maybe indirectly, but I need to vent. I just had one of the worst days of my whole life. In addition to fibro and ankylosing spondylitis, I also suffer from GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) which causes me to get nutcracker esophageal spasms. I've...

    Fibro test, tightness in your chest, Cymbalta

    Hi - I am still trying to determine if I have Fibro or not (see my post in do I have fibro) folder. I DO know I don't have Lupus or Rheumatoid arthritis or Lymes, Epstein Barr, Parvo, Hepatitis C and some other things my doc ran tests for. My symptoms began in my hands (which continue to...
