I finally got the diagnosis that I have FM, it has been a long time coming and to be truthful I honestly believed that it would be FM long before my doctor settled on it. I have had unexplained hip, low back and joint pain with no inflammation found for years. It has become more intense and...
My research has borne out the fact that fibro is under diagnosed in males and for many years (decades) was viewed as a condition that was a female condition.
Either I am in the wrong type of body or something is amiss because I have been diagnosed with it. I have talked to many people who have...

Through my research on ways to live a more natural and holistic life, I discovered the amazing world of essential oils and aromatherapy. One of the major symptoms of Fibro are chemical sensitivities. It's not that I don't believe some of the medications work, because they do, but the other...
Hello, I'm a 25 year old male that has been diagnosed with fibromyagia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Im sure I've had this longer than I have been diagnosed with it. I don't know how else to say it, fibromyalgia has torn my life apart. My life hasn't been the best anyway, my mother passed when...

I'm new here and to the fibromyalgia diagnosis. However, I'm not new to the pain and other symptoms. After many years of complaining to my Dr., he finally scheduled me to see a Rheumatologist, but I can't get in for a month. I want to go into my appointment with some knowledge of different...
Hi, this is my first post here and I found the group by googling "tingling in face." i have had tingling in my arms, legs and face for about 6 years. It just suddenly started and didn't go away. It's gotten progressively worse but I do yoga, tai chi and other forms of exercise and I also eat an...
Hello,

To start with I need to tell you what fibromyalgia is, and that is easier said than done. Wikipedia defines fibromyalgia as: Fibromyalgia (FM or FMS) is...

Hi guys,
I’m a little intolerant (ok, a lot) to traditional fibro meds, namely Cymbalta and Lyrica, but I did notice that while on Cymbalta, my mood seemed to be a little better. I’m a naturally anxious person, which is aggravated by my fibro, so I was wondering if any of you have taken...
