It seems as if so many conditions are so closely related it is hard to determine which one or combinations one may have.
Several years ago I went to my doctor and I told him I was tired all the time, he gave me some stimulants and told me it would restart my system and that I needed to change...

Hello, it's nice to meet all of you. I'm sure my story will be familiar, as many of you are (or have) experienced similar problems. I've had "random pain" for many years, but in the last two it got bad enough that I couldn't work.
After tests upon tests coming up negative, after doctor after...
My insurance finally approved my sleep study. I go tomorrow night. They didn't tell me a whole lot except to wash my hair but not to put conditioner in my hair:-? Which is funny because I have super thick super long hair that is going to be snarled mess if I don't use some conditioner, and to...

I've had a rough winter, my fibromyalgia and lupus seem to only be getting worse. I've had symptoms since I was 9, but I wasn't diagnosed until age 22. Having a diagnosis is bitter sweet. I have proof that it's not in my head and I'm not overreacting, but it also means that this isn't going to...
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...
I have been living in a tight knit community for almost four years. The fact that I feel so desperate right now for support and am turning to the internet angers me. I wish there was a better undertanding of chronic illnesses out there. People have no freakn clue. It is so hard.
I am sick of...
Hi all, I have not been diagnosed with fibromyalgia (yet) as my doctors think I'm a total hypochondriac by now. I would love to hear what you all with fibromyalgia think of my symptoms.. For the past few years I've been thinking there were several different things wrong with me but now I'm...
I'm currently waiting on a diagnosis. My doctor seems sure I have either fibro or CFS, but will not diagnose me cuz that's not her field of expertise, and she said its too easy to get a false negative if you're not an expert at putting the pieces together. So, now I wait for a referral, but its...

Right now, I'm just wanting to curl up into a ball and cry and I seriously think it would help to just get it out. And, I know I am just getting started in this battle which makes me want to cry worse. :cry:
I tried Cymbalta for pain and had a severe reaction to it. Dr. gave me Gabapentin. I...
