    Just married, fibro ALREADY causing problems...

    Hello everybody! I am brand new to this forum, in fact this is my first post.

    Apathy and Anger Phase?

    I'm extremely down in the dumps. Maybe I could get some guidance from veteran sufferers? Here is what is going on (and please excuse my disjointed post): I was just diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in March (2013). I have suspected that I had it for almost 3 years. Two years ago, I had chronic...

    Thanks for allowing me to join! I am a busy CEO of a women owned business

    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...

    myfascial or spray techniques

    Has anyone ever tried the myofascial release therapy? Or the spray and stretch therapy? I have no doubt that this can relieve and lessen stress.

    Massage for Temporary Relief?

    One of my friends with Fibro gets a few days of relief when she has a professional massage done. I don't know if it's the kind that is "deep muscle massage" or just regular but it really does seem to make a difference at least in her case. Does this work for anyone else? Is it an accepted...
