    New Here

    Hi! I've been suffering from fibromyalgia/CFS for over a year now. I seemed to have gotten it fairly suddenly, after a flu like illness - and I ended up losing my job due to the restrictions it puts on my life. Until recently, I had tried to remain hopeful and kept thinking, somehow, I would...

    Social Security questions

    Hello all! First-time poster. I apologize for the pending text wall. I'll keep it as brief as possible. I've had fibro/chronic fatigue, plus a small slew of other problems, since I hit puberty. It was always bad, but it got progressively worse until I was about 22 (I'm 25 now). By the time I...

    What Comes First? FMS or Depression?

    I'm curious. Those of you with depression and FMS, what came first? For me, I was depressed as a child, but was fine in my twenties. It wasn't until I started getting hard-core symptoms of FMS and lost my job that I became depressed. Also, how many of you have FMS and are not depressed?

    Sandie says "Howdy"

    Like others before me, I am grateful for a place to discover more about my recently diagnosed fibromyalgia. All of you understand - to some degree - how I am feeling. Last summer a young man we know from Louisiana told us that his wife has fibromyalgia. We were so sad for this beautiful young...
