I'm so upset. I just went to a chronic pain dr. who told me I don't have Fibromylagia because it started with one area of my body and then spread. He said, "it doesn't work that way!"I just have depression and I should see a psychologist. He didn't ask me any questions or do any tests just...
I wish to tell you guys who are in this thread who do not yet have FBM but think that you do that please get yourselves checked up by a doctor. Do the necessary testing and let the results be conclusive, and then we can talk about how to face the disease and how to live and sustain life with it...
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away... sorry, I could not resist. That is just one of my other conditions rearing its head, StarWarsNerd-itis. Hey, we have to find something to laugh about, right?
Anyway, I guess this is my Fibro story...

So this is going to sound random and odd, but I just cant figure it out. I am always sick. It seems to be around the time I am supposed to get my monthly cycle. I get a rash all over my arms, my throat gets sore and I am in tons of pain. It is happening right now. I am waiting for state...

Right now my brother is in Germany. He is in the US Army. He was my rock. Him and I have always been close. When I went through all my medical issues, relationship issues and friendship issues, my brother was there.
I am 8 years older than him, but he has been such a great friend. I haven't...
I was diagnosed with Fibro last year, but my pain started a few years ago. I dealt with leg/hip pain for two years, went through a couple months of physical therapy twice, saw several doctors and had several tests done. At first it was mainly my hip and IT band, but eventually the pain spread...
Hello everyone...
Since I am very new to this (Forum and Support Group), I would just like to ask everyone to please be patient with me. lol I have been struggling with this horrible "illness" (or what ever everyone calls it, as I want to be as "politically correct" as I can be here, lol)...
