    I'm in a bad situation that is turning scary

    Just venting

    I've been having a bad few weeks lately. It seems that I'm stuck in a rut. It seems as though my life is governed by when I take my meds. The pain has been constant and it's been bringing me down a lot as well. I'm still having issues with gastritis and costocondritis has been rearing its ugly...

    Fibro, Gitelmans, IBS, oh my!

    For my 21st birthday I didn't drink. I didn't go out. I sat on my couch the entire day because I was in so much pain. And I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. On top of fibro, I have asthma, IBS, GERD, urticaria, and chronic migraines. After the fibro diagnosis I was diagnosed with a TMJ...

    I need advice and guidance

    I joined this forum and group because I feel like I'm starting to graduate from the denial stage of what I'm starting to acknowledge as my long term life affecting issue. The pain started about 2 years ago. I was in an interesting and challenging phase of my life and had a bad habit of self...

By June of that year, I could only work a few hours per week at my senior analyst position at Siemens Power Corp, Nuclear Div. At year's end, with no diagnosis and unable to really perform my...

    Is it just fibromyalgia?!?

    I have been recently diagnosed and just wondered, is it ever just fibromyalgia? I've read many articles, blogs, and patient forums. It appears that fibromyalgia isn't a singular illness. The majority seem to have other health issues affecting them along with fibromyalgia. It makes me wonder...
