    Does anybody crave ice cream?

    Hi, Just wondering if anybody else craves ice cream during a "flare-up? When I'm hurting, I'm not satisfied until I get a bowl of ice cream! I am learning about Serotonin and Dopimine,and how our levels are too low. I figure that is when I want chocolate, to build the "feel good" chemicals back...

    Soldier with Fibro

    Greetings everyone! I am a 24 year old (male) service member on my 5th year of Active Duty! Right now I am living in Japan. So over the past 3 years or so, signs and symptoms had increased to the point where I stopped writing them off as normal pain. About 2 years ago, while stationed in the...

    Fibro & Anesthesia/Surgery?

    Hello to everyone, although I'm new to this forum I've lived with Fibro & related symptoms for a very long time.

Since, I had a second replacement on the other hip in 2008, when...

    migraines with fibro?

    Does anyone get migraines with their fibro flare ups? My fibro is flaring up today, and my head is also killing me! I am sensitive to migraines, and stress often triggers them. But I guess stress also triggers my fibro to some extent.

    Postnatal fibro

    I had severe body pain after delivering my baby. Thought it was a fibro flare up. Turned out some of the pain was from a progesterone birth control pill they had just put me on. Anyone having pain that might be somewhat attributed to hormone pill side effects? Stopping the pill resolved that...

    New member, worse than usual pain?

    Hello all, I'm new here and I don't have anyone to talk to about this. I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and am currently not on meds. I can't tolerate lyrica, and was on neurontin for awhile. I quit taking that about a year + ago because of dental issues. Some background, I have back...

    Debbie Downer & Heidi Hypochondriac?

    Does anyone else feel like Debbie Downer when they talk about their symptoms to people who aren't affected by fibro/other chronic illnesses? Even when I talk to my doctor about how I am feeling, I worry that I am just coming across like some big whiner, or a big hypochondriac just looking for...
