    Please explain to me a flare

    I haven't been diagnosed yet, but I do have a referral to a rheumatologist. The down side is I can't be seen until February 1. I am not entirely sure I have fibromyalgia, and maybe I am in denial. It just seems like from what I read, most everyone has it much worse than I do pain wise. I have...

    it's hittin' the fan again

    :roll::roll: I recently had a flare up that had my body ballooning. I was told FM doesn't present itself that way but that's beside the point. The point is the "ballooning" is pretty much over, almost nonexistent. I got that shot of steroids about a week ago and thankfully my joints have been...

    New to the forum (UK)

    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...

    Yoga/Tai Chi

    I know the treatment options for FM vary a lot, and am wondering if anyone has found help with either yoga or tai chi? Even with this most recent flare of fibro, with a painful episode of costochondritis, I am trying to find other treatment options that are more naturopathic. For me fatigue...

    My FM

    In 1983 I was diagnosed with 'Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder'. I had some pain, but had extreme fatigue. IN 1990, at age 43, I had a 'flare up' and saw a rheumatologist who diagnosed FM. What a relief to finally have a definitive diagnosis! All these years I have had occasional flare-ups...

    Immediate & Extreme Fatigue

    Hi there, I tried to do a search so that I didn't duplicate this post, but I did not see one, so I apologize if this is already out there. The question I have, is does anyone experience an almost narcolepsy feeling during the day. I mean fall asleep wherever you are at the drop of a hat? It...

    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...
