    Ok, that's it. I'm burned out on the pain!

    Do you ever get the point where you can't stand the pain any longer, so you find a way to simply ignore it and try doing something you enjoy despite it? I'm sure we've all experienced getting "burned out" on feeling the pain. What is it that you do when you reach this burn out point? Are you...

    Diagnosed in March

    Hi everyone, In some ways I think I am one of the fortunate fibromyalgia sufferers in that I knew almost immediately what I had as my mother had it too. In March I had an event that lasted several days when I had slamming fatigue, flu symptoms, nausea. I expected to get better but I didn't. The...

    Hi from California!

    Hi all, Newbie here. This is the first time I have ever joined a forum. So, Please bare with me. :smile: I was diagnosed a year ago in January.

    Ive forgotten the last day I was normal and now live with fibro. If it was human it would have been given an anti-social behavioural order. Its nice to find people that understand me and I look forward to people sharing an insight into their worlds.....

    Not Diagnosed

    Hello, I have suspected for the last 3-4 years that I may have fibro. Some days my body hurts so much that I want to cry. I have also suffered from migraines for the last 18 years but I am on medication for them. I should say that I have a very busy life. I work full time in a hospital and go to...

    Is heat or ice better?

    Doctors always say put ice on sore muscles to reduce the swelling, and heat to reduce the pain. Often times, I can't decide which one my muscles actually need because they're swollen and in pain! I tend to automatically go to taking hot baths to help with my general achiness and fibro flares...

    Do you always keep fibro and other health issues to yourself?

    Today I was thinking about a question I hear almost on a daily basis: How are you? I have learnt to kinda dislike this question over the years, because most of the people who ask you this don't really want to know how you really are, but in order to remain civil and polite they do so. It took...
