Hi all. I have a job interview next Wednesday for a part-time position that will utilize my skills, allow me to work mostly from home, and help folks without medical insurance. I could not ask for a better opportunity that provides me an excellent opportunity for success. I was beginning to...
Hey everyone- My name is Rex and in the last couple of years my life has seen some...ummm... changes! I don't know how brief or in depth to be but I suppose I should error on the side of "more info is better". Let me start by saying I have seen a local rheumy one time (about a month ago), and...

Hi all. I have been dealing with chronic pain which took my perfectly balanced (work full time demanding job and two very little boys) and threw it all out of wack. Depression and hopelessness creeper in. Then a slew of unbelieving or understanding doctors. I have been formally diagnosed by a...
Hi everybody, I am new to this group. I am in so much pain right now because of a pulled shoulder muscle. I got a new job and this is probably what did it. I want to scream, to cry, to hit things with pillows but it hurts.

Can we get a section in this forum listing ideas for home based internet jobs for people with our condition? I'm reading more and more people are quitting their jobs and need something else to make money. I think we all can pitch in and give these guys a few ideas.
I have had sustained widespread burning, aching pain since Wednesday of this week. This is the longest period of fibro pain that I can ever remember having. Any exertion on any muscle in my body (other than walking and showering) causes the pain to intensify. I am taking my tramadol (50mg)...
