    Diagnosed today

    I expected it, so I wasn't exactly shocked, but my doctor officially diagnosed me with fibromyalgia today. Part of me is so relieved because I finally have an answer... I've been struggling for so long, and I just thought I was too sensitive, too out of shape, too lazy, etc. When really, the...

    Endoscopy

    I have to have an endoscopy due to GERD and other symptoms. I was supposed to have it done in December, but I had pneumonia at the time and had to reschedule. Well, it's coming up on Tuesday and I'm scared to pieces as they are going to put me under anesthesia. I've got several medication...

    Diaphragmatic Breathing and Blood Pressure

    I know some don't believe in natural methods, or would prefer to rely on medication, but I prefer to limit the number and type of medications I put into my body. Blood pressure medication is something I'm averse to, because it could complicate at least a few of my other issues. I have a...

    Medication for migraines

    I've noticed a lot of people stuggling with migraines/cluster headaches. I struggled for YEARS before a doctor tried me on topiramate. It took some adjusting, but I've gone three years (with exception of times in the mold house) with little trouble, where I used to hide in a dark, quiet closet...

    New to the Forum

    Hello everyone - I’ve just been recently diagnosed, but have known for several years that I probably had fibro. My mom has it and was disabled because of it and she had seen symptoms developing in me. At her request, I went to see a doctor about it and he was none too happy that I was telling...

    Going Medless

    Hey all, It's only been 8mo since I came down with fibro. I've been tested for a hell of a lot of things, but all has come back negative except for the ANAs. So I think I may have mitochondrial damage from a medication I had been taking (unrelated to fibro). I can't even tolerate OTC drugs...

    Decision about cat

    Hi everyone, I know many of you are going to disagree about the decision I made for my cat and I don't blame you. The vet said he is only one level above being normal in his kidney function. He and my other cat absolutely refused to eat the prescribed medication and they were losing weight so...
