    Fear of being labeled an imposter

    I've been dealing with chronic pain increasingly over the last two years. (I think longer, but I really started noticing it a couple of years ago.) I had my first appointment with a rheumatologist and he said I have fibromyalgia, and he thinks I also have an autoimmune condition. He ordered a...

    Anxiety

    I just watched an item on tv about anxiety. I honestly didn't realize so many people didn't know how anxiety felt....I kind of assumed if you had been dumped or gone through a bad relationship break up or faced other even tougher times like getting a chronic illness or many other things like...

    Here we go again

    I am sitting at my computer getting ready to compose yet another letter to my attorney as to what my conditions are, what my doctors are saying about them and how I feel they prevent me from working. This has got to be the 10th letter I have written on this same subject this year. I am getting...

    Hi from the Netherlands!

    Just a few minutes ago I also made a post in the section for people who recently got diagnosed, but I feel it's proper etiquette if I would take a moment to introduce myself. I'm Esther from the Netherlands and I recently turned 37. I'm married, we have one daughter and two lazy cats. My field...

    Hi! New here, but not to fibro.

    I have thought about looking into support groups for several years and I am glad I finally did it. I have read several postings already and know I have done the right thing. I have struggled with fibro since 2007, but was never diagnosed until 2010. My biggest fear is losing my "fight it"...

    hello... I'm new

    Hi, this is my first post and I'm hoping to get some info on my condition. It actually started about 8 years ago. I was at work and a spot about the size of an apricot, just below the left knee on the outside became itchy. Didn't think about it. Gave it a good scratch and ... omg... I've never...

    Fibro &Relationships

    I am 25. I was diagnosed with Fibro about a year ago. How do you all deal with the strain it puts on your relationships? Sexually, emotionally, physically? My significant other has been my rock through this nightmare, but I fear he is getting tired of being my caregiver more than my spouse...

    Referred to Rheumatologist

    At first my doctor thought I had anxiety, but a few months went by and the pain/aching has set in. He did a tender point test and some places didn't bother me but he barely pressed down. Other spots felt like sore/tender muscles. He did bloodwork, testing for a long list of things and it all...
