    newly diagnosed, feeling lost.

    Hi all :-) I have only just been diagnosed (2 weeks ago) with fibromyalgia, and to be honest I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around and accepting it. For the last few years I've had ongoing hip and leg pain following a car accident and numerous tests have shown no answers, leading to...

    Feeling encouraged by Bowen therapy and elimination diet

    Hello everyone. I wanted to share two things that seem to be helping me. In the past two weeks I've had two Bowen therapy sessions. I had been wanting to try some sort of hands-on therapy but thought that traditional massage would be too painful. Bowen is not really considered a massage but a...

    Is she suffering from fibromyalgia

    My mother used to buy muscle relaxants and instruct me to thoroughly massage the area around her shoulders. It usually took about 15 min. The problem cleared on its own accord. Nowadays, she complains of severe headaches and bone pain especially after performing manual tasks. She sometimes...

Massage is one of them. Deep massage is the most effective though FM is a challenge to patients due to allodynia...

    It's not all about the pain

    Firstly let me say thankyou for providing such a supportive and informative site. This is the best one I have found so far. My journey with Fibro has been a bit of an unusual one. Having 2 bouts of Ross River Virus left me with CFS which I had thought to have managed reasonably well. However...

    New and discouraged

    I am a 60-year-old California lawyer, diagnosed a couple of months ago. My husband has advanced Alzheimer's and I suspect the past 5 years of caring for him has taken a pretty big toll. I have tried Cymbalta, Trazadone and Ambien but nothing has helped yet. I cannot remember sleeping through...

    Wondering if I have fibro

    I have been in a limbo the past few months with my health. It all started around August when I developed an eye twitch. I googled it and was determined I had a serious illness.

    Constant agonizing pain

    The problem I see with Fibromyalgia is that it is still not understood why the fibrous muscle tissue forms and continue to build without ever healing. I believe the nerves that run through these muscle fibers are constantly causing the pain we all feel. I have had electrical muscle stimulation...
