    Hello! Been diagnosed for 8 years now!

    Hi, I'm 20 years old and was diagnosed with fibro when I was 12 after 3 hospitalizations, a case of gastritis, mild encephalitis, and some confusing test results lol. To be honest, I feel like it may still be a last-ditch diagnosis, or, since it is a syndrome, a diagnosis that doesn't quite...

    long-time fibro sufferer

    Hello to all you beautiful folks who live with this disease. I was diagnosed in 1992, but really hit the wall when I contracted Lyme disease in 2001. After that I lost my farm, my career, so many friends -- well, my life. I'm sure you all empathize as fibro has stolen much from you, too. I...
