    So many people here

    When I read your stories I know them all as I read them. I'm gonna share this for me, maybe because I need to. I've survived nearly 20 year with undiagnosed fibro and was diagnosed last month. The struggle brought me to the edge of giving up on life many times but thank God I'm still here...

    Fibromyalgia and gastrointestinal symptoms

    My cousin was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 3 years ago, whilst I developed trimethylaminuria (TMAU) symptoms. I was living with her parents when my symptoms occurred. Since her mother doesn't have a modern knowledge at preserving food, I have found something common in between us -...

    When this started for me, I had headaches all the time. Upon waking, would come on suddenly throughout the day for no particular reason. They started as "liquid" headaches.

    Not fibromyalgia after all

    I had my long awaited visit with a rheumatologist today and I was positive she was going to say fibromyalgia. Instead, she said she was confident it was spondyloarthropathy and sent me for some further tests to confirm. I hope I can continue to check in with this group, despite a different...
