I came across this group during the several month wait until I can get an appointment with a rheumatologist. I have had symptoms for about ten months. I started with pain and stiffness in my knees. It felt like there was one of those air filled arm bands that kids use for swimming inside my leg...
Full disclosure. I have no financial ties to any products mentioned here, and no association other than being a member, with any websites that I may mention. If I mention them, it is only because I, as a mother of a child diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, CRPS and CFS/ME, have found them to be...
Mornings are not a great time for me since I got fibromyalgia. When I first wake up the idea of hopping out of bed is just that - an idea (that I don't particularly feel motivated to act on).
I usually start by wwriggling my feet to get the blood moving and do some breathing exercises. I might...
Today is my day off and I have done nothing but sit in my recliner the biggest part of the day. My feet hurt so bad that I just did not want to get up and walk on them. Just sitting here they hurt at the level of about seven and a half or 8 I just don't understand what this is all about or how...

Hi, I found out 2 years ago that i had the dreaded "F" word. I hated the word because I just thought it was just a doctors way of telling you that they didnt know what was wrong with you. As I researched I found more and more people with it. I was off work and in pain all the time , I couldn't...
Hello,
I'm posting here because I would like to get thoughts as to whether or not I should get some of the symptoms I have checked out.
I'd never heard of fibromyalgia before I started googling random pain. Thing is, I am a pretty anxious person and wonder if a lot of the symptoms I have...
