Well finally did my sleep study! I have a few other names to call it....
So I went in for 9 pm took the lady 45 mins to hook me up ( while sitting still in a torture chair) then another 15/20 mins to calibrate the computer and camera...I took a book cause I try to read before bed for down...
Symptom management is the hardest part of fibro, because it is hard to know when the symptoms of fibro end, and where a new illness might be begining. Also the no cure sends us for a loop, when all we want is for it to go away so we can enjoy life and be productive.
This is a list of things you...
Just discovered this forum and am looking forward to chatting to fellow fibro people to share and support each other. I live in Toronto, Canada! I am 55 and was diagnosed in 2007, however it has gotten really difficult over the past few years because I have had 8 operations for chronic frontal...
Had my first appointment with new Pain Doc today. I think it went well. He seemed to take me seriously and yet kept things light and funny. Funny is always good!
For those of you who might not remember, I cannot take pain meds. They all make me seriously ill :-( .... Anyway, he gave me some...
Do many of you have tummy problems? I was led to believe that IBS and fibro go together sometimes. I know that I have to run to the bathroom so many times that I'll get frustrated and want to do a liquid diet. There's no rhyme or reason. One day I'm okay, and the next day it's five stops to the...
I thought it might be fun to add a topic on how you picked your user name. Where did the idea come from and does it mean anything special?

New here today...didn't know this site existed. Thank goodness I found it!
I was just diagnosed in July but figure I have had fibro for a long time...right now I'm not working and haven't been in almost a year...
Well how has fibro affected me...it has changed me from a go go go mom of 3 (...
I was quite surprised when my new rheumatologist said I had fibro two weeks ago. I knew I had rheumatoid arthritis, but I always figured the other aches and pains, the relentless exhaustion and so forth, were just an extension of that.
Naturally, I rang my mum and told her.
"Oh," she said...
Ughhhhhhhhhh so upset and frustrated!
The kid who did this to me, triggered all this horrible pain....
Ugh I wish I could give him a piece of my mind!
He thinks it's funny that I'm in this situation.
Thinks it's funny he got off scott free.
He's avoiding his responsibilities for the...
I wasn't, not at all, but now I'm afraid I've gotten entirely too normal.
In my case, I got older, had those darn babies that make you want to be normal while you encourage their creativity. Then the grand babies roll in and you try to have fun; nothing but fun with grand kids!
Then maybe you...
