Yesterday my rheumatologist diagnosed me with fibromyalgia, but I am not sure if this is the correct diagnosis. For the last 12 years my main symptoms have been burning pains in my hands and feet, that can sometimes involve most of my body, that usually start at night, and end when I get up in...

Reluctantly I tried Cymbalta (again). I'm waking up with stomach pain, heart palpatations. I know he's trying to put me on antidepressants because he doesn't want me on opiates, I'm only on 10 mg. 2 times a day. I'm not sure what to do, nothing else helps and I so don't want to be couch bound...
I am waiting to get into the doc.
Several months ago, I begain having issues with depression, panic, anxiety.
For several months I have a very bad stiffness in my feet. When I get out of bed, its like a board is keeping my ankle joints from bending. Walking is very difficult in the a.m.

OK..here is an interesting one that I'm really wondering if anybody else has experienced.
Last night I got a rushing feeling of cold, freezing cold going through my legs down to my feet. I wouldn't classify it as just the normal tingling, but a COLD RUSH of almost like water was being flushed...
I let the Dr. I'm seeing now talk me into trying Cymbalta again, I told him at least 10 times I had a terrible time with Cymbalta, and that my family has told me they noticed a change in my personality. For 6 months he's been tapering me off of pain medication 5 mg perc, with tylenol. He...

Hello, I'm 27 and, after looking up the symptoms of fibromyalgia, I'm wondering if I may not be suffering from it. I also looked up some of the possible causes of fibro. I'll begin when the symptoms started, after I had a mRSA infection at the age of 22. The doctors surgically removed the...
Hey guys- I'm new and this is my first post, but my fibro diagnosis is not new. I got diagnosed when I was 12 and have been learning to deal with the constant pain since. I'm 19 now and am trying to be a productive, functioning adult but it's hard.
I work at a job where I have to be on my feet...
Hi, I was looking for support for an alkaline diet and happened to find this board. I'm 65 and have had FM for for about 15 to 20 years. I've controlled it with acupuncture, but lately, the acupuncture has been making my nerves worse. My daughter in law suggested that i try an alkaline diet...
I am (was) an avid gardener. Now I can't get out there and plant, transplant, bend over when I need to. I am also weak in my arms and legs. I am so frustrated!😣 Walking is painful as my feet ache along with my legs and my balance isn't what it used to be. I have no stamina other than to do the...
