    I have had severe back/neck pain. Fingers and toes often feel broken. I have severe muscle and nerve pain. None of that is new. What is new is a sharp/tingly sensation in my feet. It's increasing in severity and happens daily. I do work full time with the help of Tylenol, Gabapentin and pain...

    Newbie here-how do you tell what is flaring?

    I have FM just like my mother did. I have many skin/food allergies and I am very hypersensitive. I have been taking gabapentin since 2012 for nerve problems that started after my hall bladder was removed. Right after that the arthritis in my back and neck got much worse and I started having...

    lost newbie here....I'm not alone?

    Hi folks, I've had fibro since 2005. Been through so many drugs it's not possible to list them all. Currently not taking any for Fibro. The last one was Gabapentin but it squeezed my brain on the dose that helped provide relief so a catch 22. I am not on any pain meds (doctors here refuse to...

    20+ years of hell!

    All these years of pain and low stamina and drinking too much alcohol and panic attacks and depression. I was almost 50 years old when I was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Why didn't one of the many doctors I've seen over the years even mention the possibility of this? Anyway, hello! I'm...

    Doctor diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome

    Hi everyone! I have recently been diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome. It took me a long time to get any doctor to diagnose me with anything at all. I have been suffering from tmj disorder, a sleep disorder and chronic neck and back tension along with a slew of other random symptoms. I also...

    Howdy

    I just joined here a couple of days ago. I honestly can't remember when I was diagnosed. My MD told me I had Fibromyalgia :o about 12-14 years ago. I was of the young age of 48. I had never heard of it and was not in constant pain so I would just deal when I would 'not feel good'. I have...
