Hello!
I am a new member although I signed up a long time ago I finally decided to post after some recent crappy events. I decided to share my story with you all in hopes of finding someone who can relate, which I am pretty sure most of you can. But anyway, I apologize for the length of it in...

I can't find any real info, does anyone know if there's a link between dental decay and FM? I'm finding plenty on dental PAIN and fibro, but not about decay. For the past few years my teeth have been "dissolving" basically. The enamel is mostly gone, I get cavity upon cavity upon cavity, this...
I've recently met a woman that has FM and I'm falling for her pretty badly. We haven't actually 'gotten together' in any meaningful sense, so she doesn't actually know that I'm romantically inteterested, but the vibes between us suggest to me that it might be heading in that direction. On the...

I was wondering if any of you have ever heard this story. I told my friends about it and now they seem to understand a little bit better that there is a limited amount of things that I can do every day.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in March of '13 and while I am far too aware of the fatigue that comes along with it, I am a bit puzzled.
I take Cymbalta (60mg) daily and it helps a LOT with my sleep. Whereas I used to wake up (to the point of coherent wakefulness) sometimes 8+ times a...
Hello All, My name is Chris, I am 54 years old and I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about two years ago and it was just because of being a little fatigued and morning stiffness.
I was doing well but then this past January I hurt my back at work and I have been off work while the W/C doctors...

Hi,
About a year ago my Rheumatologist said that I most likely have Fibromyalgia, and I'm OK with that, sort of. For as long as I can remember I have had symptoms that fall into the FMS list. I'm a 66y/o male and my memory is affected by something, so forgive my historical references, they are...
Hello everyone,
I am very glad to have found this forum. I have been dealing with chronic pain and other issues for approximately 9 months now, pursuing treatment and diagnosis for four months. I have a lot of stress-related health issues that I was seeking treatment for prior to the emergence...

I've already been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, after which I promptly pissed off my Rheumatologist by saying I thought nobody believed that to be a legitimate diagnosis. He said, "Well, I do."
I've always had bad luck with doctors. They always say I have an unusual case. Nothing is ever easy...
