Hi! My name is Linda and I was given a fibro diagnosis at the beginning of May. I believe this is something I've been dealing with for awhile though (as I'm sure it is for most people that finally get the diagnosis). For me, getting the diagnosis was a big relief. I certainly wasn't looking to...

Sigh, all I want for Christmas is a doctor who will figure out what the heck is wrong with me! :confused:
So my rheumatologist does not treat Fibro, he "only excludes it as a possibility" None of the tests he ran came back with a clue as to what might be the cause of my fatigue, muscle pain...
Has anybody notice that any emotional upheaval may lead to a flare-up of symptoms?
I just lost an evening part-time job. I should have seen the handwriting on the wall because there was less and less work over these past two months. However, suffering the emotional stress is the same even if...
Glad to have found this wonderful community! I'm a 40 y/o mom to 2 girls. I was diagnosed about 2 years ago shortly after a total hysterectomy and then a gallbladder removal. I never really identified what the trigger was for my fibro but I suspect it was mainly about my (previous) extremely...
So.. I live in Arizona. It is HOT. Let me give you bit of a back story. I know some of you may have seen some of my previous post, but let me sum things up.
Okay. I am going through a divorce. Lost my job, my apartment, about to lose my car. So yes a hard time. All of these things were out of...
I am probably going to sound like I am rambling, so I apologize in advance, I just need to get this off my chest.
Let me start with background... I have been suffering silently with this for many, many years. A couple of years ago I couldn't take it anymore when after work every day I would...

I would like to now if anyone is having difficulty working, The demands of having a job is over whelming. That causes alot of stress to me, even though they tried to accommodate by reducing my hours, I still couldn't manage to get out of the door. I had to try to walk normal and fight the pain...

Hi everyone,
So, yesterday I finally got diagnosed with FMS. I've been living with it for quite a few years but thought the symptoms I had were down to 'getting a bit older' I'm only 45.
Thanks to a proactive GP who was very thorough and determined to find an answer for me, and I must add...
