    Migraines with Fibro Flare?

    Hello everyone. I am curious, how often do you get a migraine along with a major fibro flare? I have found this to be very common for me. I tend to have a migraine at least once during a major flare. Is this true for anyone else? :?

    Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum but I am not new to fibro. I was diagnosed with fibro in 2007. I was 21 and had just had my second child. I am happy to report that I am doing much better these days and only occasionally deal with the major flare ups that I used to, but I will never count...

    New here...flare up!

    Hi all. I have been battling this beast for 12 years, but was only diagnosed a few years ago (CFS diagnosis in 02). All these years, I've had flare ups, but some just seem to be worse. My vent for today is this: My husband has severe PTSD. He is 100% disabled veteran, but sometimes I just need...

    It has been two weeks...

    This has been a crazy past two weeks. That is all I can say. I had a really awful flare up that landed me in the hospital. It sucks that we have to deal with this. I am a very positive person and, I believe we can live normal lives with this disease. When these bad days and weeks come up I...

    Hello Fibro Community

    I would like to take a minute and introduce myself to the Fibro forum. I have suffered with Fibro for twenty six years and did not know it. I spent years trying to find a diagnosis which made me appear as a hypochondriac. Last December I went to Pennsylvania Hosp where a Neurologist diagnosed me...

    Hi

    Newbie here.;-) I am excited to find this forum as I have come to the realization I now need help. For 14 years I have had self diagnosed fibro. Following a bad experience with a doctor saying it is all in my head I decided I wouldn't speak of it again until I absolutely had to and it seems...

    Canes, wheelchairs, walkers, oh my!

    I don't see a lot of people talking about using mobility aids, and I searched and there's not really any threads about it either! I currently use a cane, but even on good days, going more than half a mile with it will guarantee a flare up, and on bad days I can't go out at all. I'm thinking of...

    Hello from sweltering TX, ya'll. :) I have dubbed myself 'fibronaut', because much like an astronaut, it feels like I am constantly exploring new territory. I'm sure I am not alone! My fibro started out as an annoyance with an occasional flare, and is now a full time job. I don't have good...

    Have an interview for a much less stressful job but can I do it?

    I am home from work again. Today it's a colitis flare-up, fatigue and headache. I had put in my name on a job that sounded like it would be kind of fun and would be at a new agency. I think I'm ready to leave. Some other circumstances have made it very painful for me to work there. I am a...
