Hi everyone,
I'm new and from Australia. I am so glad that I just found this forum. :) A friend recommended looking up Fibromyalgia when I was discussing the symptoms of my ongoing illness and pain on my Facebook. I post there to try and cope with what I'm going through and my online friends...
Hi All!
I'm new here, and was just diagnosed last month at 23 years old. However, I have been suffering for a few years. I have been having a hard time accepting this diagnosis because for the last 5 years of my life I have been devoting myself to hospital internships and grunt work to become a...
Hi, this is my first time here. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia my junior year in college right before I turned 20 I think. I'd been experiencing pain since high school but since I was always a dancer I always attributed it to pushing too hard in dance or being sore from practice. It wasn't...

Well it is finally over. I was surprisingly calm during the hearing itself but once I got home I fell apart. I can't believe what a huge relief I feel that this is all over and done with.
So I was sitting in the hall and my attorney came out and got me. I went and spoke with the judge and...
Really, I just can't take anymore. I am 10 days from my hearing with the judge and I am falling apart. The closer it gets, the further I fall. I can't eat or sleep. I can't concentrate on anything. On top of everything else that is going on my sister in law had a massive heart attack on...
Hello, my name is Katie, and this is my first time on a support site for Fibromyalgia. I think I have hit the wall on talking, explaining, and generally wining about my Fibromyalgia to friends and family. They seem to just now change the subject and are not interested in hearing me anymore...
Feeling very fibro depressed lately and have no one to talk to. My fiance doesn't understand, and my mom thinks its all in my head. The pain in my back/shoulders/neck has been so terrible lately I feel I can't even function. Between the fatigue and the pain, I don't even want to get up. I...
I let the Dr. I'm seeing now talk me into trying Cymbalta again, I told him at least 10 times I had a terrible time with Cymbalta, and that my family has told me they noticed a change in my personality. For 6 months he's been tapering me off of pain medication 5 mg perc, with tylenol. He...

Recently I suspected that I had RA like my father did during his life. But after seeing a specialist in the field I found that no I didn't have RA I had OA in more than one joint and Fibromyalgia in mild form. Now some would think that is a better diagnosis but I found myself scared by the one...

There are a myriad of symptoms of Fibromyalgia and its related conditions. Each person is affected differently, with some experiencing symptoms that others may not have.
My big three symptoms are pain, fatigue, and brain fog. Of those, many would think that the worst would be the pain, but...
