I am not formally diagnosed, but my doctor is sympathetic to my fatigue issue. She suggested that I take up some yoga to help build some stamina and strength (along side helping a lower back ache that I've had for a while), but I've absolutely hit a wall.
This happens with almost any type of...
I have been suffering with pain now going on 3 years. Yesterday I was told that I have Fibromyalgia. I've take almost every pill under the sun for the pain and nothing is working. I am taking up to 900mg of Gabapentin, 4500 mg of Salsalate, and 975mg of Hyrocodiene per day. It was helping for...
Every case of fibro/CFS is different. In my case, I was diagnosed at the age of 18 following previous diagnoses of Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety Disorder, ADD, and Asthma. Due to my lengthly list of health concerns, I think that my dad, sister, and brother have written me off as dramatic...

I'm in the very beginning stages from being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I am still trying to figure out a lot of things and one of them is medicine. So far, medicaid will not pay for any of the meds my doctor would prefer to start me out with; Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Savella, have all been...

I have an appointment to see the doctor.
I understand that he is famous for helping people with fibromyalgia find nearly total relief from their symptoms, but he puts you on a strict diet and herb plan that you cannot stray from in order to stay well. Symptoms come back if you stray from his...

Symptom management is the hardest part of fibro, because it is hard to know when the symptoms of fibro end, and where a new illness might be begining. Also the no cure sends us for a loop, when all we want is for it to go away so we can enjoy life and be productive.
This is a list of things you...
I went to this lady who is also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia but is not living in the pain and all the other crappy symptoms that come along with it. She works now with people like me and I walked in completely thinking another crack head who does nothing looking for money.
First I sat down and...
With each passing day, am experiencing almost a new kind of pain in my body. Before it was just joints and my low back pain, but off late my muscles are tiring out so fast. I climb 13 stairs while going in and out of my house.
By the time am in my house, I make at least 2 stops to rest because...
I'm new here and to the fibromyalgia diagnosis. However, I'm not new to the pain and other symptoms. After many years of complaining to my Dr., he finally scheduled me to see a Rheumatologist, but I can't get in for a month. I want to go into my appointment with some knowledge of different...
