I feel like I have come girl circle in the last five years with no relief. I have been to GM doctors, chiropractors, rheumatologist, spinal specialist all to no avail. I had a c5/6 spinal fusion in 2011 which shows everything exactly in tact but my body functions seem to be getting weaker daily...
I was recently diagnosed with Fibro after being a Massage therapist full time for nearly 10 years and owning my own spa for 6.5 years. Problem is we didn't have enough employee's so now I got carpal tunnel and Fibro diagnosed almost at the same time and even after the surgery I am not...

When lifting a feather pillow to put on a pillow case feels like you're trying to lift a ton. REALLY?! Come on body, work with me here. I know I had PT yesterday, but that was all leg and lower back work, and barely counts!
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 2 years ago after over 2 years of going back and forth to doctors. Once I was diagnosed, the doctor started me on Lyrica. It worked great for about 6 months and I managed to gain about 30 lbs. during that time. I'm on Cymbalta now, and it's helping, but I...

So I've had doctors say "Well, it could be Fibromyalgia. Here, you should try this Metanx stuff." It's basically a B-vitamin food supplement that costs an arm and a leg and is marketed for diabetic neuropathy, not fibromyalgia.
Another doctor did some blood tests and said "You have non-specific...

One of my biggest problems has been dealing with a weak streak in my upper leg area. It is not straight across each leg and not straight vertical either. When walking my legs will become very weak and heavy feeling, and this weakness in my legs can cause me to fall down.

I was diagnosed with Fibro in 1994. Since then, I had 2 remissions, which lasted a short time. The leg pain can be so unbearable during the winter months, that I can hardly walk around the house. Prior to getting neuropathy (nerve damage) in my legs and feet, I walked 3 short walks a day...
