Hello,
This is my first time here. I have just registered. I feel the need to vent. Anyone I talk to gives me advice. Right now I just want someone to listen. I don't want pity. I don't want sadness, just a listening ear.
Sometimes it seems like I may be lazy or that I give up. I am having such...
So my physician and rheumatologist are having some problems finding meds that work. I can not take any opiates (this happened after the fibro started as before i could and it worked for a leg injury i had years ago, and before the fibro for TMJ again without any problems) as they cause the pain...
Gone are the days when I sued to enjoy a good night sleep. Off late I don't even wish for the night to come because its like my pains increase at night.
I have to leave my legs outside the blanket because I feel as if they are burning up. If I put something cold on the, I feel better...

Recent studies in a lot of research institutions have shown otherwise. It is believed that exercise is essential for keeping muscles...
If I have stress, I can feel it in my hips immediately! It hurts so incredibly bad when I am stressed out! With a teenager in the house, there is stress! If he only didn't feel he knew everything!:twisted:
What I try to do NOW is let him muddle through and figure things out for himself. In the...
I'm currently 8 months pregnant, and I was just wondering if anyone dealt with Fibromyalgia while pregnant? If so, how did you deal? It's hard because when you're with child you can't participate in all treatment options unless they're approved and/or natural. Also, with all the aches of pains...
Several people here have talked about having cystitis. I thought it might be useful to share information about the two different types of cystitis to prevent confusion when talking with others or with a doctor.
Common cystitis is an inflamation of the urinary bladder caused by bacterial...
