    Pain is getting worse, don't know what to do!

    How to Approach my Doctor About my Concerns.

    Good afternoon everyone, After at least a year (potentially more) I have come to the realization that something more is wrong with me than just being utterly exhausted all of the time. I feel I may have fibromyalgia, or rheumatoid arthritis, or a combination of the two. I would like to...

    Fibromyalgia symptoms

    To clear up a few things the psych said that seem to have you concerned: "can take time to diagnose" -- let me explain briefly why. First, the EMG shows abnormalities. The "time" is to be sure that those abnormalities aren't something ELSE. (Remember, many things affect nerves and muscles)...

    Is it PLS?

    Hi there, I really hope that there's someone who can help. I have to be honest and say that until yesterday I had never heard of PLS. I'm afraid it a bit of a long winded story and I hope that you bear with me. I am 47 and live in Australia. I have had so many tests during the past couple of...

    Alone and lost

    Let me begin by apologizing. My thoughts have a tendency to jump all over, making it difficult to follow my thought patterns. Please be patient with me. I'm a 44 yr old single mother of 2 wonderful young men aged 23 and 18, both live at home with me. I stopped working almost 4 years ago, and...
