    how many of you use pain meds?

    Hello, I just wondered how many of you are prescribed pain meds (opiods) as part of your "fibro cocktail." I tried all the so-called fibro meds except lyrica. I refuse to take something that puts that much weight on you so quickly. But I've been unable to take savella or Cymbalta. I did try...

    Hi all! Newbie here with fibro issues!

    I am 39 years old and was officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia a little over a year ago though my mom has been telling me for years it is what I have.

    Hi from Montreal, Canada

    Hello all! I figured that after all this time spent searching stupid websites and "news articles" written by non-FM people, it was time I started talking to the source. I'm a relatively new diagnosis of FM, having started my journey in January 2009 with routine blood work for joint pain. My...

    Hello everyone! It's been about a year now since my diagnoses. I am very thankful that I no longer feel that I'm on death's doorstep. I came from being in very bad shape, very depressed, frustrated, and just about worthless. I was unable to work and living off of savings while I frantically...
