I'm extremely down in the dumps. Maybe I could get some guidance from veteran sufferers? Here is what is going on (and please excuse my disjointed post):
I was just diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in March (2013). I have suspected that I had it for almost 3 years. Two years ago, I had chronic...

Hello everyone!
My name is Katie, I'm 27 and from Toronto Canada. I was recently diagnosed with FM after a couple hard years of unexplained health problems and pain.
My life has completely changed over the years as a result of fibromyalgia. Now that I have some answers as to what has been...
Hi
I'm in the UK and have been ill for over 15yrs now, although I was lucky enough to have a patch of pretty good health in the middle of it all. I am not doing so well right now though! I was diagnosed with ME/CFS in 2001, and have given up hope of getting any real medical help for the time...
Hi all,
So glad to have support. I have been reading and I am thankful for this forum.
I've been feeling crappy for roughly two years. It first came in the form of major digestion issues - I'd burp all the time and got no relief... just burp, burp, burp. I had seen many docs with regard to...

I am 51 years old & was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in June 2006, although I had fibro for several years before.
Since being diagnosed I have also developed Crohn's disease, Tronchanteric bursitis in my hips, Poly- Myalgia rheumatica and an currently under investigation for arthritis :-(...
So, happy birthday to me. I got my letter from SSD yesterday (the 7th) stating that the review supported the initial determination, and that I'm not disabled.
Yay - NOT.
They CC'd my lawyers, s I'm guessing that my lawyers have already started the process of setting up a hearing with the...
Hi Everyone... I'm Mariposa from PA.
Looking forward to getting to know you all and hearing your stories. I have a close family member and 2 friends with Fibro and other extreme pain issues and I'm trying desperately to find things that may help them. I'm so sorry that so many of you are...
Hearing news from doctors is good and/or bad for individuals. Some people are relief when they find out the cause of their medical conditions. Others are anxious when they hear bad news. What did you do after you were diagnosed? Where did you go to find more information about your diagnosis...
Hello Everyone,
My name is Dan and I've been looking for answers for about 6 years now as to what is going on with my body. I've been to the Mayo Clinic and countless Doctors and Pain Management Specialists with no no real answers. It started with low back pain and then spread to my...
I really need to vent so have decided to do it here. I have had fibro for 2 years, it is so severe I cannot work. My neurologist told me from the beginning he believes it is work-related. I filed for social security disability, got denied twice, filed my second appeal and am just waiting for...
