I was diagnosed 8 years ago and am almost where I was then even tho many Drs and way to many NSAIDs trying to control pain. I am an asthmatic, not controlled and this complicates treatment. I guess I just needed to tell someone that I hurt all the time. I do little exercise because that hurts...
I don't know if this is related to the fibro or not, but I figured it's worth asking here about it.
I've had a rash that covers the top half of each arm since last November. It isn't itchy, it's just a bunch of tiny red hives. It comes and goes. Sometimes it flares very noticeably, other times...
Hello group. This is my 1st time to the site. I guess some sleepless nights can be productive after all!
Quick background. I'm a 55 years OLD female. I was diagnosed with Fibro about 3 years ago and belief I've had it approximately 25 years, although I've kept it very controlled with only...
Hi,
Just wondered what everyone does for exercise. My doctor keeps telling me I need to get more and that being tired is not a good enough excuse as exercise doesn't deplete energy. :roll: I don't sleep well so would prefer not to get up early to go for a walk then when i get home from work...

Hi everyone, I have been diagnosed with Fibro about a year ago and have a history of anxiety, and depression. I have had weird symptoms my whole life and now I feel debilitated. I used to be a weight lifter/fitness enthusiast who always worked out. Now I can hardly get to the store. I am...
Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. Just venting. More than 23 years of Fibro pain, IBS, CFS and in the last year Chondromalacia in knees. I work full-time, no sick time left so I'm docked, sometimes I've been on short-term disability. I just do everything to work, but don't really live...
