    Meds

    I have been on Naproxen 500 mg since late March and it has been working pretty well. My rheumatologist and primary care doc were in a pissing match over who would authorize a refill. They have given me 3 months, so I will have to start researching a new med. I have been in a fibromyalgia study...

    Newbie to forum but not to the pain!

    Hi Everyone - I was diagnosed with RA ( rheumatoid arthritis ) 3.5 years ago and the Fibo climbed on for the ride. Lol As with most of you, it took a year to diagnose, I've gone from stiffness in my hands and feet to barely able to function some days. At the moment I'm going through the gamut of...

    Hello from the newbie in UT

    I am so glad I found this forum. This is such a cruddy disorder to have because when you try to explain how you feel to someone without fibro, they really have no clue. It's nice to read some of these posts and say, "Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about." I was diagnosed about 1.5...
