    Anyone get a FEVER that won't end?

    I have had FMS/ME/CFS since 1989. But for the past 3 months I've had a FEVER of 101-103 degrees Farenheit. Yes I am in mid-flare. I've been on 2 rounds of antibiotics because my bloodwork shows elevated White Blood Count so my family doc was thinking I had some sort of infection. But no luck...

    Does the SHINE method truly work for fibromyalgia? Help.

    My fibro pain comes and goes and I am much worse in the Spring. The fatigue is what is effecting my life. It's disabling. Right now I'm so foggy from this fibro flare that I can't remember how I feel the rest of the year. I know that sounds crazy. Anyhow, does the SHINE method help at all...

    Looking for a Dr. that recognizes fibromyalgia in Tucson, AZ

    I have had a terrible experience with my Primary care Doc since I've been with him for the last 2 years. He refused to read a "pain journal" I brought in that detailed my pain from day to day, hour to hour and all he has done for me since I've been seeing him is put me on a massage table with a...

    Here is my story!

    I am new to the forum and like what I have read so far. I am in a major flare since February (2014) due to a series of stressful events. Within 18 months my husband suffered a heart attack (had 2 stents placed) and also underwent treatment for prostate cancer. (He is doing well currently)...

    Hey everybody, my name is Jess. I have recently been diagnosed with Fibro, however chronic illnesses are nothing new to me. I was diagnosed with severe Crohn's disease three years ago. I was on the edge of going septic and just barely escaped dying; scary and not fun. I also have enteropathic...

    When Do You Put Your Foot Down?

    I always feel like I have to do things for people. I don't know how to say "no." So, I end up stuck in this cycle where I'm constantly doing things for others and then I'm so tired, I'm too tired to even take a shower. I used to be pretty good at saying "no" when I couldn't do something but...
