I've been on a low dose of gabapentin for a while now and that has helped keep the pain manageable, so it was mostly fatigue and weakness that was affecting my functionality.
I started 30mg Cymbalta 4 days ago: Holy side effects! More pain in new places(at least twice as much as before)...
Hello my name is William. I was told Friday by a specialist that he is 99% sure I have FMS. He told me that this will never go away and that I will fight it for the rest of my life. I'm only 20 years old and that was the most devastating news of my entire life. Chronic pain fatigue and memory...
OK, this is a very weird pain, and I have told several doctors about it and one of them have ever heard of it before. I am wondering if I am the only person who has it!
It is in the cartilage of one of my ears --always only the same ear, about one inch below the top curve of my ear. It is a...
I'm at a stuck point with doctors for the moment. My neurologist that diagnosed the fibro doesn't actually treat it and my primary doctor refused to do anything for me, including focusing me a referral to a rheumatologist as well as just being rude. I managed to leave his office without going to...

Hi,
I am 23 year old male and I started having severe twitches 4 weeks ago. I use to wake up with stiff legs every morning since 2014 but it used to go away when I start walking around or sit. Slowly it progressed to having pain all the time. Some days I feel I have absolutely no issues in my...
I have chronic pain in most of my joints (but very severe in my neck & lower back) and in the soft tissues or muscles near my joints (both forearms & shoulders, both calves & achilles heals).
My first symptom, almost 2 years ago when I was 57, was mainly fatigue. I couldn't understand why I...
I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia but don't how to separate out symptoms. Below is a problem I am having am I am trying to see if anyone else has had this as a fibromyalgia symptom.
This pain starts from the middle of the back of my butt on both sides and goes down both sides to a little...
I can't believe everything I am feeling is fibromylagia. 4 years ago I started having sciatica. It would come and go and I worked through it. Did Zumba, walked 2 miles several times a week. But the pain got worse then just didn't go away. Sent to physiatrist who said it was sciatica and...
Are these symptoms normal? I am really tired most of the time, without doing anything. That is probably the worst of my complaints, the rest I can deal with.
But my head feels unusually heavy and the back of my neck burns (like a massive sunburn that won't go away) and the burning spreads...
Hi there, I'm new here and was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia by my rheumatologist. She didn't seem totally confident with the diagnosis but sort of as a way to "give me something" and send me on my way. This is going to be long but I would so appreciate some thoughts.
Here's some...
