Hi. My name is Linda and I'm 55. I used to be an employed engineer until this chronic pain condition killed my career a few years ago. I haven't been officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia but I strongly suspect that's what the rheumatologist will say I when I see him next week. It took me...

This is the first day this year I can say I feel good:smile: January and Febuary I was exhausted every day. Then I had the worst flare up of joint and muscle pain I've ever had. The depression hit and the "crazy" moods you can have jumped on board but this morning I feel as close to a normal...
Hi,
My name is Kim and I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2011.
I'm seriously panicking about work at the moment and could use some advice. The people in my department know I have fibromyalgia. They don't, however, know the extent. They know I miss days because I'm in some pain and...

A year ago my dr said he thought I had fibromyalgia ...I didn't believe him - I just didn't have the symptoms. (I had a left hip replacement and a right knee replacement)
I went to him a week ago and told him I was a mess. I told him I was SO depressed - the antidepressants I was on aren't...
Hi all,
I was finally diagnosed last year (after having many dr's tell me "everyone gets tired and achey sometimes") by a great gp who finally took me seriously. I've been coping ok since, but stress is a BIG trigger for me. I had a training workshop yesterday for a course I'm doing online, and...

Returning to bed.

I waited a month for an appointment to see a doctor who many have told me is a great diagnostician. He is only in his office 2 days and is an ER doc the rest of the week. He is working toward having a full time practice. I was also warned...
Hey everyone, and thanks in advance!
I've been with my girlfriend now about 2 years, and I can honestly say she's the person I've clicked most with. Our relationship doesn't have any of the typical issues (mistrust, fighting,etc) so I'm thankful for that. I truly love her and think that she's...
I'm a 33 year old male. I've been suffering from fibromyalgia since my return from Afghanistan in 2004 but wasn't diagnosed until 2012. It seems to have progressed each year getting more widespread and more painful. My pain started in my knees and back and now has spread to my hips, pelvis...
