The past 11 days have been awful.
I have trouble falling asleep so I've been taking melatonin pills. I keep waking up at night because I'm uncomfortable and achy and I wake up to feel like I've been beat up or hit by a car. It's extremely difficult to get out of bed and I've been crying every...

Hi,
I have not posted here much, mostly because of my frustration about having my Rheumatologist insist that all I truly have is Fibromyalgia with a few other unrelated autoimmune issues. It's frustrating for me not to have a diagnosis that my other doctors generally believe exists. I'm not a...
Hi All!
I'm Brambles, a relatively new transplant to Sioux Falls. After dealing with "The Mayo" for the past 10 years, it is a bit daunting to be looking for a good doctor. While I love Sioux Falls, the sprawl and lack of coordinated clinics seems to add a new level of frustration...
As many of you know from my former posts I am dealing with high cholesterol and finding I can not tolerate the extra joint and muscle pain brought on by the different statin medications. Each one I use lasts a good 5-6 days and then the pain is unbearable and I end up quitting the drug.

Hello I'm new the forum. After much frustration I sought out a forum for others like myself because unfortunately those around me don't quite understand what my days are truly like. I am hopeful that this forum will help me cope a little better.
Hi,
About a year ago my Rheumatologist said that I most likely have Fibromyalgia, and I'm OK with that, sort of. For as long as I can remember I have had symptoms that fall into the FMS list. I'm a 66y/o male and my memory is affected by something, so forgive my historical references, they are...
I am new here. I was diagnosed with fibro quite a few years ago. I was in an accident back when I was in high school (decades ago) where I was riding a bike and got hit by a car, and that is what started it all. I have been through the gamut of trying different ways to "heal." The only thing...
Hi everyone. So this is my story. My symptoms started when I was 15. About 2 years later I was diagnosed. How it has affected me the most has been in school. In highschool I had pretty understanding teachers. My English teacher even excused me being late for a month so I could take physical...

I am probably going to sound like I am rambling, so I apologize in advance, I just need to get this off my chest.
Let me start with background... I have been suffering silently with this for many, many years. A couple of years ago I couldn't take it anymore when after work every day I would...

Hi Everyone,
This is my third thread here. I think I may be on this forum for a while. I like it here. I don't know how many people would be interested in what I have to say but I am going to give posting here a shot anyways.
I want to start with a new attitude. I am going back to school...
