    Massage Therapy - how can it help

    As a licensed massage therapist I have seen many clients who have exhibited symptoms or have been diagnosed with either Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue. It has been my experience that the benefits of massage will differ at each visit dependent on the way my client feels that day. In general...

    I have been told my CFS/FMS is not an exclusionary diagnosis, anyone else?

    So my rhuematologist and GP have both told me that my diagnosis is not exclusionary and that they believe there could be an underlying illness on top of it. Has anyone else been told this. As a result of my daily migraines and brain 'lesions that have shown up on a 2 scans, they believe there...

    Hi, I am new

    Hi. I am so happy to find this site as I really feel that us "fibros" need to stick together as most people do not understand what we go through. I have had this disease since my early teens and I am now 58 years old. I got diagnosed last month. Although I was told three times previously by...

    No Diagnosis,5 years of pain, so depressed

    I am new here. I am sure at some point I will be given the Fibromyalgia diagnosis. I started becoming sick at age 30 when my daughter was around 4. I was a single parent from the beginning and life was great. I had a high paying job, we needed for nothing. She is my life. It kills me now that we...

    New to Group / Fibro Survivor of 21 Years

    Hello. I'm looking to share what I've slowly learned about living with Fibro for the last 21 years. I was diagnosed at 32, had to leave my job at 46, and am fighting to not become an "old woman" at 53. I'm hoping to learn new information, coping strategies (one can never have too many), and...

    Newbie checking in

    Hi all, I'm new here and also newly diagnosed - or should I say ALMOST diagnosed. I'm waiting for a battery of tests to come back to confirm what my GP thinks about other possible issues but its looking 99.9% positive to be FM. Whilst I certainly wouldn't choose to have FM it feels like a bit...

    A Complainer

    I have never liked going to the doctor and usually only go once a year for an annual physical/check-up. I have 'complained' in the past to my family physician about muscle soreness, tiredness and stiffness. I was referred to a rheumatologist who barely did a thorough exam. The points where he...
