    I was Diagnosed July of this year with Fibro/Chronic pain. For almost 3 years I have suffered with no answers from my doctors and finally this month I have an answer. It was most surely not the answer I wanted but at least I got one and am now trying to get the pain under control. Right now...

    I'm New..and I need insight!

    I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia a month or so ago. I was put on Savella and Amitriptylene to help manage the pain, which worked for a few weeks, and now I feel worse than before. The pain is lessened, but I am tired all of the time, and cannot make it through a walk longer than a mile without...

    28 y/o Fe with Fibro and Sjogrens

    Hello everyone! It's been about a year now since my diagnoses. I am very thankful that I no longer feel that I'm on death's doorstep. I came from being in very bad shape, very depressed, frustrated, and just about worthless. I was unable to work and living off of savings while I frantically...

    How About Zoid!

    Hiya folks. Zoid here. So glad I found this forum. I was a pretty avid ball player for nearly all my life up until a few years ago when I started having bouts of intense pain. I don't want to tell all of my story in this intro, but I am looking forward to sharing and gaining some insight and...

    Paging Wright!

    I posted this in response to a thread by Inventor and Notme suggested discussing my EMG/NCS results with you. My neuro only sent me a summary, is that helpful to you or would you need something more specific? "Inventor, I've been following your thread closely and feel like I could have written...

    Does Fibromyalgia have any relation or commonalities with ALS?

    Please explain whether ALS can mimic Fibromyalgia? I'm just wondering and hoping to gain insight. I know before my husband was diagnosed with ALS he wondered if he had Fibromyalgia. Also, I've read that ALS patients usually don't have pain, but he does have neck, shoulder, back. He even had...
