    No Sports Anymore Is Sad

    Hello. Thanks for allowing me to post on the board. I was the 2nd rated player on my college tennis team, I ran a church softball league, I love the Philadelphia Eagles, and I love reptiles, amphibians, and all animals. I used to play sports a lot but cannot now. Unfortunately, after a long...

It's not my imagination! It's real! And all you people that look at me with a lifted eyebrow!!! Please...

    Gabapentin and weight issues

    I've been on gabapentin since June, currently taking 600mg/day. It's (mostly) managing my pain (on good days I have virtually no pain), which makes me happy. But right after I started taking it, I gained almost 10 pounds, and I can't seem to break through the plateau I'm at right now to go back...

I've been placed on a extended release NSAID pain reliever which seems to help somewhat. However, I'm still struggling with consistently getting a good night's sleep and the subsequent...

    28 and feeling a little hopeless...

    Hi! So, I posted in the newly diagnosed section but this seems to be the place to introduce ones-self, so here I go! I was just diagnosed on monday but have had a lifetime of pain in my 28 short years. I feel like a 90 year old inside and out. I was bullied all through school and never had...

    A little off topic

    Hi everyone, this subject is a little off topic but does play into my disabilities. I finally decided to break down and hire a cleaning service. I could just no longer do the bending, stretching and reaching and scrubbing that is required to clean my house. I had a company come out that was...

    Wish I could be doing more

    I'm actually not the fibro sufferer - it's my husband - but it's so hard on days where his symptoms are at their worst. Seeing someone you love being in pain, feeling like a wreck emotionally as well...I just wish I could be doing more, you know? I guess I even feel guilty for...
