I am new here and have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Unfortunately, my family and I realized I have had it since childhood on and off, but now in my mid 40's it isn't going away. Nothing is helping it except not doing a thing...and as a woman, we all know that just doesn't cut it...not...

Hello everyone. !st I want to say I really appreciate having this place to come to where people actually understand what it is like to have fibro. NO ONE in my family has a clue or has ever shown any interest in trying to understand.
I have had this for many many years. The last year of...
Hi Everyone. My name is Cathy and I have been diagnosed with Fibro and Myofascial pain syndrome. For the past three years I have had lack of energy, feeling exhausted all the time, pain all over and just feeling awful. Had been told I had severe osteoarthritis in my neck and was waiting to get...
When I push myself to do chores I get pain, but I get exhausted like I have climbed a mountain. Then if I keep going to get this chore done I get the sweats and breathless and over all a sick feeling. This forces me to rest. What physically happens to you when you try to do chores? Can you...
Hi, I have fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, migraines and some endocrine diseases. I am 32 and I just finished graduate school. I should be launching my career, but because of my health issues, I am doing nothing. I DESPERATELY want to be working. The biggest problem I have is fatigue...
Hi I'm a newbie (to this forum not fibromyalgia) I'm a 34yr old mother of 3 and for 7yrs I've complained of fatigue and all over body pain. I was diagnosed about 8 months ago and have had every test done to finally get a answer to why at 34 I feel like a 90yr old woman. I was first prescribed...

I just was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience or any input.
I was experiencing increasing pain symptoms and I went to a doctor (my doctor did not have appointments). He did some blood work and later that week my PCP diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. I was frustrated that the...
Hi all. I have been battling this beast for 12 years, but was only diagnosed a few years ago (CFS diagnosis in 02). All these years, I've had flare ups, but some just seem to be worse.
My vent for today is this: My husband has severe PTSD. He is 100% disabled veteran, but sometimes I just need...
I'm 28, live in a small town in Arkansas, and I have been experiencing wide spread pain for at least 2 months now. I can't sleep because I'm hurting and I'm tired because I can't sleep. I have had some family members and friends with fibromyalgia say I could possibly have it. I went to the...
