Hi everyone - thank you for taking the time to read my post. I have been reading a lot here the last few days. I have not officially been diagnosed yet but my Rheumatologist sent me home with bunches of website links and talked to us ( hubby) at length about Fibro at my appointment on...
I started savella a few days ago, and have had nausea, stomach pain, hot flashes, and my actual pain feels worse than before. This happened with one other med (oxycontin) a while ago... Tonight my pain is so bad I can't sleep. Had to leave the bedroom so I didn't keep my boyfriend up all...
Hello, all!
I was just diagnosed with fibro on Friday, although I had been having pretty much all possible symptoms on and off since the winter. Ugh. My other "major" diagnosis is Tourette's syndrome, which complicates the medication piece a bit, as apparently some fibro meds can exacerbate...
Hi! I wanted to join your site as I have had Fibromyalgia since 1999. I was a Registered Nurse for 20 yrs & had to quit after the birth of my son 10 yrs ago. I loved my job I didn't want to but was physically suffering too much to take care of others & work 12 hr shifts. I spend a lot of time...

Hello, I'm new to the forum, but not to fibro. I've been diagnosed for 5 years now. I just wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced this. Anytime I get a steroid shot for another issue (arthritis in knee or bursitis/rotator tear in shoulder, injections in neck), I find that the medicine...
I was on this site fairly often when I first started dealing with having Fibro but then I stopped because I thought I had a handle on the issue. After seeing a PCP, back specialist, sports medicine doc, rheumatologist, 3 psychiatrists, 2 pain management specialists, orthopedists, podiatrist...

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...
I've seen posts already for herbal usages,I don't like taking man made medicine,because for every action there is a counter reaction,and I know the there is nothing new,for every ailment on earth God have a remedy that grows out of the earth,but man doesn't want to cure anything cause they...
