    Newly diagnosed with fibro -- Agoraphobic with PTSD

    The title seems a little silly but I didn't know what to write... haha Hi! I'm 28 years old and was just diagnosed with fibro by my rheumatologist on Monday. The pain has been around for a long time but recently got much more noticeable a few months ago. (As a possible point of reference as...

    Gym/Workout

    I just watched a video that was recommended by someone in the forum. It was of someone w/ fibro who appeared to suffer a great deal, but near the end it showed that she was going to the gym! I totally understand the benefits. I have been fortunate enough to experience those benefits before all...

    Baking Soda

    Was considering posting this in 'Fibro Fog' but I think it might be better suited here. Often after using a baking soda mouthwash, or simply placing some baking soda directly on my tongue, my fibro fog reduces significantly and immediately. There is something about the tongue and health that...

    Trace Minerals

    I recently read something about trace minerals and how they can boost the immune system , as well as enhancing overall health. I could definitely use a boost, and really need to rebuild my immunity after the systemic infection I had. I was wondering if anyone here uses trace minerals, and if so...

She told me that all my conditions - fibro, IBS, GERD, rosacea - are all because of inflammation in my body. She wants me to go on...

    Cat Scan anyone?

    I had a cat scan w/contrast done a couple of months ago. For 2 weeks afterwards everything was worse...pain, fatigue, brain fog; I'm still a little worse than before the procedure. I even got the onset of new pain (like I needed that) in my hips. The hair has basically slowed down to almost a...

    If Pain and Fatigue Weren't a Problem...

    What would you do? Earlier, I got to thinking about things I'd like to do and try to figure out a way to make it happen. Of course, I have FM and the chronic pain holds me back from doing so much. I thought, if that wasn't a problem, ID love to take my daughter to Disney World. I'm newly...
