    Medication Question

    Hello everyone. I'm 46 and I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia a year and a half ago. I also have osteoarthritis. I was doing well on Cymbalta, but had to change to Effexor due to insurance no longer covering Cymbalta. Over the past month I've had 3 exhausting flares. The worst part for me is...

    Swelling and Fibro Flares

    I was diagnosed with Fibro last year. Since then, every time I have a fibro flare, my neck and shoulders swell up like I've been stung by a bee! It drastically decreases my mobility in my arms. I usually can't lift them above shoulder height. And my neck looks like I have a hunchback. Does...

    Long term rash worse with exercise

    I don't know if this is related to the fibro or not, but I figured it's worth asking here about it. I've had a rash that covers the top half of each arm since last November. It isn't itchy, it's just a bunch of tiny red hives. It comes and goes. Sometimes it flares very noticeably, other times...

    Spring time allergies as a trigger?

    So, as some of you may already know, I've managed to really minimize my fibro pain over the last 6 months. I've been fighting other issues, some which are symptoms of fibro, but the pain itself has been very minimal (unless I eat any sugar at all - sugar always gives me nasty flares.) My...
