    I suddenly feel so old...hello, everyone, new 'club' member here.

    Hello, everyone!! Well, so here I am. After going through all the stages of "grief", I'm finally at the acceptance stage: I have fibro, and ignoring it for several years hasn't worked to dispel it.

    famous TV doctor denies fibromyalgia to exist

    Ok, I will have to cool you down before I go any further - this is not a famous TV doctor in the States, the UK or anywhere in Europe. Thankfully I suppose... I won't mention where, but it is in the country where I live and this is so so so frustrating. How dare he???!!! The majority of the...

    Heavy Legs

    Lately my legs have been feeling heavy and weak, and also tight? Also, when I stand up from sitting, I see black spots and become dizzy for a few seconds. Is this just another common symptom for people with fibromyalgia? Thanks in advance.

    Disability Scare Flare

    As you might know I have been on here quite some time sharing my advice and life with fibromyalgia with all of you.
