I’m 40 years old and I feel like my life is over. Was that all I had to offer? (Not that that’s a bad thing.)
I have no where to go from here but down. This is soo heavy for me I have no choice but to put it all aside just so I can try and have a normal day. I don’t think it’s working...

I just developed high blood pressure in the last few months and am now going to a cardiologist. I recently started smoking again because I'm on nothing for pain and it helps very mildly with symptoms. I live in Virginia, so I can't smoke pot for pain. As it is, I'm already in pain, I'm just...

Has anyone tried to apply for food stamps and medicaid due to not being able to work? I just had my interview over the phone and they want me to provide proof that I don't have insurance and that I'm not working before they will help me.

I am 39 years old and was officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia a little over a year ago though my mom has been telling me for years it is what I have. Sometimes I have bad flair ups at least once a month, and there have been times where I have gone a few months without a bad flair up. My body...
I'm so glad that there is a support group forum here! I was diagnosed with FMS and CFS all in the same year of 2006. Just recently I found out that I may have inherited my mother's rare disorder Stickler Disease, but some of my symptoms are not as severe as hers.
Stickler Disease is a...
