I joined this forum today, everybody here seems really supportive. To be honest though, at first reading things here depressed me more. Everybody struggles with it so much and it makes every part of life so hard and it's not fair to any of us. Especially being 20 years old and having failed out...
Hi everyone! I'm a 20 year old female, and for the past year or so, I've been in constant pain. I just woke up with pain one day and it never went away. The pain radiates throughout my entire body, and it gets worse depending on how many activities I do during the day. I'm a full-time college...

Hello everyone,
I am new here! I signed up about a week ago, but there was something going on with the email system or something, and I just got my activation email today. So, here I am!

My dad made me go see doctor for a second opinion on my fibro diagnosis because he didn't belive that I had fibro, but his doctor also diagnosed me.
I've become dependant on my dad and live at his house (very long story short, it was my grandpa's house and i was living here to take care him...

We all suffer with fibro to different degrees and have different lives.
Mine was manageable enough for me to push through and have better hours or days until the last year or so.
For those who have it at the more severe end of the spectrum and cant get out and even sitting up your muscles burn...
Anyone out there love hiking/kayaking/backpacking etc?
I used to love to be outdoors and very active until I started having health problems at 15. Now, I am 21 and for years have had a sense of identity loss because I have been unable or afraid to do what I once did weekly. I'm trying to get...
Happy new year everyone !
I was wondering if anyone has issues with hand dexterity? I drop things all the time, texting and typing is impossible some days? It seems like my dexterity has gotten so bad in a short time but it also seems like it comes and goes. Any suggestions on how to help that...
I joined this forum and group because I feel like I'm starting to graduate from the denial stage of what I'm starting to acknowledge as my long term life affecting issue.
The pain started about 2 years ago. I was in an interesting and challenging phase of my life and had a bad habit of self...
