    Oral Surgery this week

    I have been so sick lately with this bacterial infection throughout my body that it's really exacerbating all of my symptoms from the Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue, as well as my other health issues. I was finally able to schedule oral surgery for Wednesday, and I can't wait. Normally I...

    Newbie

    My name is Tracy. I am new to the site and hoping I can learn more on how people cope with fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed about 5 years ago. I was part of an HMO health plan and just ended up with a diagnosis and no help. I now have different insurance and am searching for a doc that can help. So...

    Diagnosed today

    I expected it, so I wasn't exactly shocked, but my doctor officially diagnosed me with fibromyalgia today. Part of me is so relieved because I finally have an answer... I've been struggling for so long, and I just thought I was too sensitive, too out of shape, too lazy, etc. When really, the...

I used to be a balls to the wall kind of person. I would push through, regardless of how I...

    Mitochondrial Damage and Fibro

    I hope this is OK to post; I had been on salmeterol xianofoate for off-label use during a clinical trial I had participated in. Towards the end of the trial, I started coming down with myofascial pain and a litany of other health issues that worsened and evolved over the past 8 months; things...

    Anyone heard of Functional Medicine

    So since my primary physician has diagnosed me with fibro without any kind of exam, my neuro says I don't have fibro, but doesn't know what I have and wants to wait and see (if I continue to get worse and for other symptoms) and my rheumy said he is on the fence with fibro but wants to dig...
