Hi everyone,
I'm 25 yrs old and I have a 3 yr old son and a wonderful husband. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in November although I have had chronic pain for 8 years. I'm currently on 100 mg of Lyrica, 10 mg of Flexeril, and 100 mg tramadol extended release. I am not a fan of pain...
About six months ago, after taking a nice walk, my lower back suddenly went out for the very first time. I was in terrible pain, and nearly had to crawl home. And from that day on, it just seemed to happen more and more frequently, until I was finally at the point where the back pain was pretty...
Well, here it is three days before Christmas, and I am desperate for a little human understanding - I have my Schnauzers and Chihuahua to provide creature comfort, it does help, but it isn't the same. I swore I wouldn't do this until after Christmas, because it just doesn't seem to be in the...
Hello to all of you! You seem like such a nice community, and while I admit I've never joined a forum particular to my currently unknown condition, I must say, I feel both excited and nervous!
So, here's my story, put as simply as I can manage: I am a 27 year old female with a ten year history...

Hi folks! I am new to this forum and just posted a ridiculously long post in the intros about who I was and realized probably nobody still reads that stuff! Soooooo here goes: I need a Rheumy that will listen! I have Psoriatic Arthritis or maybe Fibromyalgia, been diagnosed...
I am Chris. I am a mom and grandma and have been battling this craziness for a few years now. Originally I thought I had just psoriasis. Nothing cleared it up. They started me on MTX and it was HORRID! Did it for 10 months, battled weekly nausea and exhaustion. Absolutely horrible side...

I just wanted to post a quick hello before I start reading through posts. I am a wife and mother to one little one, though we are hoping in a year or two to add one one to make our family complete. My little family is very much a geeky gaming family, even down to our two year old.
I just...
Sometimes I get really bad calf pain but I find it goes away if I wear high heels. I'm not sure how I found that out, I think I just decided if I was going to limp, I might as well do it with nice shoes on. But the shoes seem to hold my feet in just the right position.
For those of you who...
