Hi All, I just joined and am looking forward to "meeting" some of you. I enjoy interacting with others who have this disease to see what works for them, things to avoid, to offer and receive support as needed. I love the research and new information regarding fibro. I'm hoping this is a good...
I feel in such a good mood today.
My back is shot and sending those nasty sciatic shooting pains down my legs.
My head feel 10 times too heavy for my neck,
My fingers are puffed up to at least twice thier normal size,
I feel strangle wide awake at the moment despite only having 4 hours sleep...
I was diagnosed about 4 years ago with fibromyalgia. The pain has always been mild for the most part, occasionally moderate. My pain is a deep ache all over my body. Feels like my bones hurt. The last couple months the pain has been getting worse. I've also started having pretty severe pain in...
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...

I hope that I'm not upsetting anyone by starting a new thread, but I think that this is imperative information for those who suffer from any kind of anxiety. I have pulled this list from a website, and it can be accessed easily by anyone, should they care to do the right kind of research.

To clear up a few things the psych said that seem to have you concerned:

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 am 47 and live in Australia. I have had so many tests during the past couple of...
