Hi everyone, I hope you all have a Merry Christmas! I know it takes a toll on us. It is hard not to get depressed because you can't do the things you did before. I get the blues because I loved to bake cookies and decorate for Christmas. Try to do your best and don't push yourselves. if things...
I'm so happy I finally found a forum for fibro/cfs. My life has changed drastically since starting this journey. I'm looking to try and find the positive but also be able to vent to people who actually understand.
Hey :) I never know what to write here so please forgive me for rambling a little!
I'm a young woman from the UK and 10 weeks ago tomorrow, I fell ill...I've been through a lot of emotional abuse and other problems for years at home and left 2 years ago late January. This has been an ongoing...

I am struggling lately. After spending 5 months on disability leave due to a failed hand surgery I went back to work at the end of September. I was very happy, making good money and finally felt like I had a purpose. The job was very stressful and I wasnt happy but I did my best because I...

Hello! I can't tell begin to tell you how happy I was to find this forum tonight. For quite some time now, I've been struggling with a wide (and seemingly disconnected and bizarre) set of symptoms that have baffled my doctor. Luckily, he may have been baffled, but he is not dismissive. I give...
I'm wondering if mouth breathing, especially during sleep, could contribute to fibro symptoms?
i realized today that I have probably been mouth breathing for quite some time in my sleep, years even.
I wake with dry mouth and have trouble breathing most of the day which gives me anxiety like...

I am not happy with the GP/Neurologist I have been working with since August. I won't go into details, but it basically comes down to the fact I don't trust her anymore. I asked to be taken off of Savella, and she said ok let's try Fetzima instead. It is almost an identical medication AND it...
Every time I call out of work I break down crying. It breaks my heart that 1, I cannot SAFELY do my job (as a home health nurse) due to fatigue and mental fog, 2, I cannot be reliable for families who depend on me, 3, I'm losing out of the rewards of caring for others, which is in and of itself...
