    Flu Shot

    What is your view on the flu shot as someone with fibro/CF? I am supposed to start work at the hospital and they are hassling me about getting the shot but I have heard mixed answers about the risks of getting it while struggling with fibro. I'd love to hear from people on both sides.

    Toxoplasmosis causing Fibro?

    Hi, I'm new here to the forum. I'm 30 now, was diagnosed in 2007, and until that time, I was in the best shape of my life. I worked 8 hours a day, then went to the gym for 1.5 hrs, and still had tons of energy to function. When I got sick, I had no energy, was so exhausted that as soon as I...
