    There is HOPE for CFS/Fibromyalgia sufferers

    I am new to these type of group forums but it is nice to know there is somewhere to go where everyone understands what you are going through. I have always been a very active person my entire life. I am a personal trainer, have 3 busy and active kids and never have time to slow down. I was...

    Is the cold worse for this?

    Do you find symptoms are worse in the colder months? I'm trying to determine if that's what's going on with me (weather related) or if it's coincidental. I'm a stay at home mom, so the only difference in fall vs summer is the temperature or the fact two of my kids are in school. Until snow...

    Are You a Conformist?

    I wasn't, not at all, but now I'm afraid I've gotten entirely too normal. In my case, I got older, had those darn babies that make you want to be normal while you encourage their creativity. Then the grand babies roll in and you try to have fun; nothing but fun with grand kids! Then maybe you...

    Unexpected Diagnosis

    Hi. I was just diagnosed with Fibromyalgia on Friday by a Rhuematologist. I am 41 years old, married almost 20 years, and have 3 children ages 8-23. I was surprised by this diagnosis to say the least. I had heard of Fibromyalgia but not thought about it in regard to the way I was feeling...

    Hi everyone - thank you for taking the time to read my post. I have been reading a lot here the last few days. I have not officially been diagnosed yet but my Rheumatologist sent me home with bunches of website links and talked to us ( hubby) at length about Fibro at my appointment on...

    Hello - just Dx'd and have some questions

    Hello, all! I was just diagnosed with fibro on Friday, although I had been having pretty much all possible symptoms on and off since the winter. Ugh. My other "major" diagnosis is Tourette's syndrome, which complicates the medication piece a bit, as apparently some fibro meds can exacerbate...

I loved my job I didn't want to but was physically suffering too much to take care of others & work 12 hr shifts. I spend a lot of time...

    I think I may have FM and CF

    Hello everyone, I have had chronic pain for years but just dealt with it. I always thought everyone had back and neck pain at work and I was just a big baby so I kept it to myself. I haven't worked for 12 years because I have been raising our 3 kids. I have still always had mild chronic pain...
