    Mentally Hit The Wall

    Hello folks, I'm new on this forum. Primarily because I think after 26 years I have hit the perverbial wall mentally. It's hard to explain and I'm wondering if the Fibro community will understand. Emotionally I am still coping. Physically I have become so accustomed to feeling like a pile of...

A warm bath helps but my...

    Homeostasis/Tolerance ruins every treatment attempt

    what type of doctor to help with this pain?

    I was diagnosed a year ago with FM by my general practitioner. At the time I was already on Escitalopram for depression and he prescribed Mobic for the pain. I also have bone on bone OA of both knees. The Mobic has helped my knee pain but for me, the worst pains are the "zings" that happen out...

    How Do You Mentally Releve Your Pain?

    Is there anything you can do to take your mine off of your pain? For me, I am building my family tree online. I spend hours digging up old relatives I never knew, and facts about their lives that blow me away. It keeps my mind from rusting and I have something else to talk about with others...
