    When I worked in the medical field while in the Air Force. I remember the Internal Medicine doctors telling me it was always hard to make a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. Is this still true today or has it become easier? I know my mother went through a lot of appointments before they finally...

    Autoimmune something or other... maybe

    Hi, About a year ago my Rheumatologist said that I most likely have Fibromyalgia, and I'm OK with that, sort of. For as long as I can remember I have had symptoms that fall into the FMS list.

    What is the Best Over the Counter Pain Medication that You Have Used?

    What is the best over the counter pain medicine that you have used? I have always used Advil for my pains and aches, but recently a friend told me about Aleve which is a little bit stronger than Advil. One Advil has only 200 mg of Ibuprofen, while one Aleve has 220 mg. of it. I don't know if...
