Hi Everyone!
I am new to the forum and just don't know where to begin. I have been
in severe pain for about 15 years. At first the events were few and far between but
I knew there was something wrong. My Mother had arthritis for years so I just
expected it to be the same. Now at the age of...
New to a forum. I have had the whole assortment of pain. My worst pain is back of thighs and rear. It gets very painful to sit for long. Dr always sounds surprised and dumbfounded when we discuss symptoms. So many things not getting addressed. Currently taking gabapentin and amitriptilyne. Each...
I was diagnosed with fibro a week ago. This after fighting and firing doctors over the past 3 and a half years. The fourth doctor finally listened, and sent me to a neuro and a rheum, and since everything else was ruled out, and I have nearly all the apparently existing pressure points, fibro...
For as long as I can remember, pain has been part of my life. Maybe not as a young kid but as early as 18 years old I remember a 6 month episode of headaches and dizziness that no doctor (I saw about 9 or more), could explain. I was tested for things that I didn’t knew but I know they screened...

I was diagnosed 3 - 3 1/2 years ago and work a highly stressful job. So far i've been on 3 short term disability leaves. The last one was due to the stress building up to the point where I ended up in the hospital with Pancreatius. I have to call out of work so much that i'm surprised I still...
Welcome to winter! We just experienced a tremendous early nor'easter here in Maine. Fourteen inches of wet heavy snow and gale force winds. Trees down, power out for three days, cold and miserable. I am aching and exhausted from shoveling and lugging water and firewood, but ya gotta do what ya...
Hello all thank you for reading this, I have been looking at your forum for the last few days and finally thought I need some thoughts from people who might understand as I am starting to feel like I am becoming a paranoid hypochondriac!
Apologies if this ends up being long! I have suffered...

Hello everyone,
You will have to excuse me I'm not sure what to really say here. I am new to support groups, fibromyalgia, and really everything that is going on right now in my life. I'm a 31 year old mother of two.(12 and 9) Not really sure when all of this started but the downward spiral...

I realize this is a fibromyalgia forum but does anyone have to use a CPAP machine as well? If so do you find that it helps. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia as well as obstructive sleep apnea and I have been using the CPAP machine since mid April. As far as I can tell it does nothing for me...
