Hi I'm new to this forum and am happy to have found it. I have been struggling with a growing list of what I believe to be fibromyalgia, but in at least 8 years of dealing with this I have yet to have a doc identify this is a diagnosis until recently. I have an internist seen for many years, a...
Hi All..
Not much into groups , however I have reached my limit of this and other issues I have and how they are trying to control my life! It seems like a uphill battle daily. 1 good day full of energy with no pain and than 3 down days miserable. The worst part for me is seeing my family...
Hi All :)
I'm in the Edmonton, Alberta area, newly diagnosed. 43, have had symptoms for at least 8 years, if not more. It's gotten really bad the last 2. I am ecstatic to finally KNOW what's going on with me! On Lyrica, which as I keep saying, make me feel like the Tin Man who finally got...

Hi & g'day from Arizona.
I was diagnosed three years ago with fibro - but I now recognize that I had symptoms two years before that. I'm a positive person but I've noticed that chronic pain can be quite depressing. I'm mostly sleeping in bed or to fatigued to get out. I'm basically managing my...
Hello everyone - I am anxious to connect with others who share my problems. I had my first flare up when I was 38. I'm 69 now. My flare ups are unpredictable. I have always figured they were triggered by stressful events, but I retired in 2013 and we moved to tucson. Two of my daughters live...
Hi. I am so happy to find this site as I really feel that us "fibros" need to stick together as most people do not understand what we go through. I have had this disease since my early teens and I am now 58 years old. I got diagnosed last month. Although I was told three times previously by...
I was recently diagnosed with fibro, They suspected it for a few years before they got to the bottom of it. Hoping to find some peace of mind, and friends who understand. Afterall, did anyone else take forever to get diagnosed because people kept telling them that they were just complaining and...
