I feel like I have come girl circle in the last five years with no relief. I have been to GM doctors, chiropractors, rheumatologist, spinal specialist all to no avail. I had a c5/6 spinal fusion in 2011 which shows everything exactly in tact but my body functions seem to be getting weaker daily...
I am fairly new to fibro - was diagnosed right at a year ago. I just found you guys yesterday (yay!).
I have struggled tremendously with medications - the side effects on some are horrible, others do nothing for me. I think I have come to the conclusion that I need to stop expecting a miracle...
So, I'm new here, but I'm not new to Fibro. I was diagnosed in October of 2007 while living in NYC. It was brutal. Just so much pain and no answers on how to fix it. The fibro makes me so sensitive to medications I couldn't take anything but AdvilPM and Tramadol - and even that was hit or miss...

I'm super new in here so please bare with me.
I was recently diagnosed with FM. I have been in so much various pain for the past 5 years. I was seeing a family doctor who just gave me vicodin and nothing else for 3 years. She would not increase the dose or add new medication with it. I was so...
I know i am new here, as yesterday was my first post, but after i got home from work last night, in the worst pain yet, i got upset because my fiance simply does not understand! I don't know what to do, simply asking for a back rub seems as tho its a burden, he says why do you hurt so bad? or...
Hey all, I have been traveling down this road for nearly 2 years, it started with a motorcycle accident, went into a year of bladder symptoms (urgency, frequency, diagnosed with pelvic floor but still having problems after PT) this whole time I had fog and other issues. NOw that I am trying to...
This is my first time on this or any other support forum. I am admittantly a little nervous. Well, here goes nothing: I have spent most of my life with no insurance. I knew that I had pain, but I didn't know what it was or why. I haven't had the easiest life, so I figured that the pain i felt...

I find my concentration extremely compromised when the arthritic aspect of my pain asserts itself during the winter months, and rainy days. Thing is, it even happens when my medications are working well!
I assume that the unstable atmosphere overloads the part of my brain that sends out the...
