Was recently diagnosed as having anemia after routine blood work with my GP. I had been feeling even MORE fatigued and made of lead prior to that ... and thought maybe it was a fibro flare.
He put me on iron pills right away, and said a colonscopy is needed to see if there's any intestinal...

Hi All,
My name is Keri as you can see lol. I'm new to the forum and also newly diagnosed. I'm 21, and to be honest utterly confused and lost. Ummm well first I'm think I'm in a fibro flare. I went to my PCP like last month and complained about pain and also shaking in my hands ( I was eating a...

I feel like I don't know what...
Hello. I'm new to this forum but unfortunately not to Fibromyalgia & CFS. I have also had spinal fusion and TMJ replacement on both sides. I have had this since 2010. Most recently I have been diagnosed with thinning bones. I was on a daily infection for that (Forteo) it made my fibro flare and...
Hi there.
I just joined today after finally getting a bit peeved about my fibro. I was diagnosed last year, but have pretty much had many symptoms for a long time prior to that, like most sufferers.
I find I can (mostly) manage the everyday pain in my legs since I was prescribed with Gabapentin...
Hi everyone! I was diagnosed with both fibro and peripheral neuropathy last year and have since been following the forum, but not posting. Just gathering info from as many sources as possible- not that I can remember it! Memory and exhaustion are terrible. Being a hairstylist, a new salon...
I believe I've had fibromyalgia for about 5 years but it intensified about 2 years ago. I was finally diagosed about a year ago. I've tried Lyrica (which made me gain weight) and Cymbalta (which threw me over the edge emotionally). I've been treated for depression since I went in to a...
