Hello everyone,
You will have to excuse me I'm not sure what to really say here. I am new to support groups, fibromyalgia, and really everything that is going on right now in my life. I'm a 31 year old mother of two.(12 and 9) Not really sure when all of this started but the downward spiral...

I just thought I'd introduce myself here. I received a diagnosis of fibromyalgia recently, although I'm a little annoyed with the doctor who gave it. (He ordered no blood work to rule out other possibilities.)
In any case, I'm still fairly new to chronic pain. The problems started in my right...
I am 43 and just found out that I have Fibromyalgia, I am currently on Gabapentin, and its just 900 mg at night, however, it helps the initial pain that I started out having, however I get new pain. So it is like the pain is shifting, and I do not like it. my RA Dr. informed me of this...
I don't really know how to begin telling you my story, but to say that it was just a total nightmare; I really believe at this time that if my God had not made this work better for me, I would not still be alive at this time! It all started because of my being an idiotic child in the 7th grade...

Hi
I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia for a few years now, and have it pretty under control with the use of 60mg Cymbalta. I was told by a nurse friend that she read that your thyroid might have something to do with Fibro so I went to get it checked. Came back normal, but my iron levels...
I have had fibro or as like to call it the monster for several years. I read a post where a woman asked if anyone's hair had hurt, yes I say to that. I usually roll over on my stomach and then push myself out of bed and make it to bathroom for meds and then sit in my lazyboy until it is...
I've already been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, after which I promptly pissed off my Rheumatologist by saying I thought nobody believed that to be a legitimate diagnosis. He said, "Well, I do."
I've always had bad luck with doctors. They always say I have an unusual case. Nothing is ever easy...

A long time ago, in a galaxy far away... sorry, I could not resist. That is just one of my other conditions rearing its head, StarWarsNerd-itis. Hey, we have to find something to laugh about, right?
Anyway, I guess this is my Fibro story...
