    Someone who understands

    Hi! I want to communicate with someone who understands fibromyalgia and chronic illness. I have all the diseases that go along with it or are related to it, such as interstitial cystitis.

    Barely Hanging in There

    Hi, I'm new to this forum and I'm not used to sharing details of my fibro with others outside of my family. I am at my breaking point physically and mentally after living with this hellish disease since 1998. In the past, I would have flare-ups especially when temperatures go down, after...

    Venting

    Again, I know this isn't the forum for this type of thing but I need to vent and it does play into my health problems. I won't go into all the details because I would have to write a novel.

    Diagnosed Yesterday

    I was diagnosed with FM yesterday by a rheumatologist. This was after months of testing by my GP for the extreme fatigue and brain fog. I chalked the pain up to 'overdoing it' because everything started in April, when I began doing more outside yard work. A friend asked if I had considered the...

    Soft Tissue Rheumatism

    Hello everyone, This is my first post on here! I've been struggling with psoriatic arthritis (autoimmune) for coming one ten years now, but I've only been diagnosed with fibromyalgia since last year. I had been struggling with pain much worse than my PsA should have caused, and I finally found...

    Nothing

    So as most of you know I have a hearing before the ALJ on November 10th. My problem is I am making myself physically sick worrying about it. I am constantly nauseated for which the doctor has given me medication for. I have convinced myself that I am dying. I have been experiencing severe...

    Newly Diagnosed - Don't know if I can deal with this level of pain!!!

    Hi I am newly diagnosed, and was told to go see "someone that specializes in Fibromyalgia". The medicine that they gave me has run out. I have no insurance and can not afford to pay out of pocket. Thanks for taking the time to read this and am hoping someone can provide me with information...
