    New here....

    Glad to have found this group. It's calming knowing that the ones here don't judge. I've had this dreadful monster since 1994....way too long. Although back then we didn't know it was fibro. Also have degenerative disks in my lumbar area and cervical area - and arthritis - not sure if it's...

    Sunday Moan and Groan

    I have had sustained widespread burning, aching pain since Wednesday of this week. This is the longest period of fibro pain that I can ever remember having. Any exertion on any muscle in my body (other than walking and showering) causes the pain to intensify. I am taking my tramadol (50mg)...

    Hello!

    my wife's experiences with fibromyalgia

    In February, 1994, my wife slipped down a wooden stairway covered with dry snow, sustaining a left distal comminuted fracture of the left wrist. When she landed at the bottom of the stairs, she also hit her chin against the stairs. The major symptoms she suffered following this were leg...

    Hi everyone!

    I am new here. I was diagnosed with fibro quite a few years ago. I was in an accident back when I was in high school (decades ago) where I was riding a bike and got hit by a car, and that is what started it all. I have been through the gamut of trying different ways to "heal." The only thing...

    Major Relief from Pain

    Hello - I am new here. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for 19 years; my doctors say I have probably suffered from it since my 20s - so nearly 40 years. I only have VA for health care, so it has been a struggle to find medications, alternative treatments, and supplements that work. I...

How would you go about discussing fibro/cfs with a new doctor.:shock: I kind of have a little...
