    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...

    Diagnosed last week and in slight denial

    Last week a rheumatologist diagnosed me with fibromyalgia/chronic pain. I should share that I was diagnosed as hypothyroid 4 years ago. And I'm overweight. I've blamed many of my problems on my weight, even as my dosage for my hypothyroidism has increased. Over the last two + years, many...

    Article I Read That May Explain Some Doctor Reactions

    This was very interesting... an article I read recently. It makes sense when you think about it. Turns out that tons of ever-present drug seekers are claiming to have fibro pain just to get medication. :cry: Maybe everyone else already knew how widespread this is, but I didn't. And I'm...
