Common Misdiagnoses of Fibromyalgia
Hi to y'all.
New to this forum...not to the Fibro.

Has anyone heard of the stem cell procedure? I do not know if this is a privately funded organization or not. But I saw this on the internet. They administer stem cells intraveniously. And the fetal stem cells stimulate the exsisting cells. They say it can possibly cure fibromyalgia. I do not...
Hi All, I just joined and am looking forward to "meeting" some of you. I enjoy interacting with others who have this disease to see what works for them, things to avoid, to offer and receive support as needed. I love the research and new information regarding fibro. I'm hoping this is a good...
