    New to forum

    Hi, I'm new to the forum. I decided to seek out advice and a place to vent and understand as no one in my family or friends seem to understand what all Fibro encompasses and how it affects everything. I was diagnosed in March of this year after having pain and symptoms for months with such...

    Is anyone like me?

    Hi I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia for a few years now, and have it pretty under control with the use of 60mg Cymbalta. I was told by a nurse friend that she read that your thyroid might have something to do with Fibro so I went to get it checked. Came back normal, but my iron levels...

    Diagnosed last week and in slight denial

    Last week a rheumatologist diagnosed me with fibromyalgia/chronic pain. I should share that I was diagnosed as hypothyroid 4 years ago. And I'm overweight. I've blamed many of my problems on my weight, even as my dosage for my hypothyroidism has increased. Over the last two + years, many...

    Damn you IBS!

    So yeah, my IBS has been acting up again. When I come to think about it... IBS is indeed a really tricky and weird, because this annoying disease doesn't even show in a colonoscopy or anything, so if you are not seeing a good doctor who knows what he is doing, then you might never know why you...

    Another Dr. , Another frustration - when will I know what's wrong?

    Sigh, all I want for Christmas is a doctor who will figure out what the heck is wrong with me! :confused: So my rheumatologist does not treat Fibro, he "only excludes it as a possibility" None of the tests he ran came back with a clue as to what might be the cause of my fatigue, muscle pain...

    Can you tell the difference?

Then again, I've only had the flu once in my life, so maybe I don't have a good understanding of what...

    get checked for gluten intolerance

    I had all the symptoms: brain fog, tiredness, headaches, depression, joint pain, muscle pain and colitis (IBS) and was eventually diagnosed with FM. Then I found out that celiac disease has the same symptoms. I had a blood test but I passed it, however, I tried out a gluten free diet anyway and...
