    New, scared and saying hello

    Hi. I am 56 and tested positive for Rheumatoid Arthritis approx a year and a half ago. However, last week, my Rheumatologist told me that he believes that I also have Fibromyalgia due to the severity of the pain I've been experiencing. The only part of me that doesn't hurt (every second of...

    The Depression Letter

    Reading the Fibromyalgia letters made me think I should write one like it, only talking about Depression. So I just now did. And here it is: I have spent more of my life depressed than I have spent being not depressed. Most people don't think that is possible, but believe me, it is. Many people...

    Flare ups!?! Help. Fairly new diagnosis

    I have been "sick" my entire life. As my husband says "it's always something with you." After seeing doctor upon doctor I was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

    self doubt and fibromyalgia

    Do any of you struggle with self doubt around your own illness?? It's bad enough that we have to fight the stigma of an invisible illness, but I find myself playing mind tricks sometimes. For example, just before Christmas I started Effexor, and whether it was the drug or just that the weather...

    Being Pregnant and having Fibro is Crazy

    This is my 2nd pregnancy and it seems my Fibromyalgia has gotten worse during this one. In my first pregnancy, it was mildly worse, but manageable. But with this 2nd one, wow, it is crazy. Growing a baby inside me zaps enough energy from me as it is, but with Fibro it is even more! I can't...

    A few weeks ago I went out for sushi with friends from work. I noticed that I felt quite a bit more energetic afterward. I've eaten sushi two more times since then, and each time I've gotten a burst of energy. Has anyone else noticed something similar? I know that if you eat green salad with...

    Hi Everyone, Besides fibromyalgia I have lupus, sjogrens, and diabetes. Like many of you, I have no energy. I know my life is a different one, but oh if I could just get my house decluttered and clean. My husband is on oxygen 24/7 so he can't do much. Please anyone that will pray for me to...
