    Newbie here-how do you tell what is flaring?

    I have FM just like my mother did. I have many skin/food allergies and I am very hypersensitive. I have been taking gabapentin since 2012 for nerve problems that started after my hall bladder was removed. Right after that the arthritis in my back and neck got much worse and I started having...

    Need Support - Invalidating Doctor.

    First of all, sorry for the length of this. So I had an appointment for my fibromyalgia. I've been told I have it but was getting some more tests ran. I've never seen this doctor before. She was nice at first (and remained 'nice' throughout the appointment). I say 'nice' because some of the...

    House Chores, Pain and Dizziness

    I am new to this forum. I had to retire in 2011 due to CAD and pain. I have always been upbeat and positive, and I used to be able to keep up with the house chores, although I have never been obsessive compulsive. Between the brain fog and the pain that takes over, the morning is the WORST. I...

    newbie

    I just wanted to say hi. It's 5:15 in the morning and I'm still awake. I've been crying because of pain number one and secondly my son calls me a hypochondriac and my other son is hateful and disrespectful to me.

I was born with toxoplasmosis originally but got a then new, experimental treatment which 'cured' me...

    fibro or drug addiction?

    I would like to know if anyone has ever gone through these things. My father has been different for years. After a confrontation with him a few weeks ago in front of my three young children, I noticed his eyes were glossy and he was slurring his speech more than usual. Our entire family has...

    Just saying hello!

    Hi everyone. I am new to the group, please be gentle with me! I have had Fibro and CFS for many years after picking up a nasty virus on holiday abroad. I have had a rather stressful life, having been raised by an abusive narcissistic mother and suffering well into adulthood. We all know how...

    Looking for help and answers (long)

    Hey everyone- My name is Rex and in the last couple of years my life has seen some...ummm... changes! I don't know how brief or in depth to be but I suppose I should error on the side of "more info is better". Let me start by saying I have seen a local rheumy one time (about a month ago), and...

    overwhelmed

    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...

    Are these very early symptoms of Fibro?

    Hi. I have a major case of generalized anxiety disorder, restless leg syndrome, and moderate depression, if that matters. My doctor also says I have PTSD due to my witnessing at 5 yrs of age my mom taking a bottle of pills and saying she wanted to die because my father, whom she was married to...
