    Frustrated with my "supportive/understanding" boyfriend

    First off I should state that I got diagnosed a few months ago with fibromyalgia, since then I've bought so many books… one book in particular "fibromyalgia for friends and loved ones" my parents found it very helpful and answered a lot of questions. My boyfriend (of many years that I live with)...

    Just wondering

    I have found this site to be very helpful at times but at other times not so much. I saw where someone had posted something and it got 294 views and only 7 responses. Is it because nobody knows anything about the topic that is being posted or are people just lurking in the shadows reading...

    Dealing with unhelpful doctors

    It seems that with fibromyalgia doctors don’t take it as seriously as diseases with known causes. I had a doctor ask me if I was stressed out and tell me that I’m too young and shouldn’t be having chronic pain. Another doctor saw me for five minutes and told me that a lack of serotonin causes...

    Hello

    Hi all. I'm going to be honest from the get-go: I generally don't like this kind of thing. I'm not ashamed and I'm not a super private person (well to some extent, mostly because I find explaining fibro only illicits pity). But I'm at a loss and I want to get this off of my chest. I'm 32, male...
