    This is all really new

    I was just recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, although I have been experiencing the pain for about 5 years. I am about to turn twenty, and I spent the majority of my high school experience in constant pain and feeling like I was crazy. It was so difficult to be so young and struggle to do...

    So Much!

    I have quite a long story that has lead me to this forum. I'll try and make it short and sweet. Everything started happening after I got pregnant with my one and only child who just turned 5 years old. About 1/2 way into pregnancy I developed electric like pain in my hands and feet. I chalked...

    Unique Issue with Speech?

    Hello, first time posting here. Nice to meet you all. I was diagnosed with FM in 2013 but have had the symptoms since 2011. It's been a tough thing to come to terms with, but as the years have gone on I have become more and more accepting of it. Anyway, I'm not really here to share my story...

    Found a way to be taken seriously by doctors

    I am sure we have all been there - been to a doctor who would not take our complaints seriously. Giving us advice such as 'exercise more, eat more, get out more, do things you like more. it could be depression, take it easy' etc etc etc. It is the one thing we do not need when we are already...

    New! Struggling.

    Hi there! I was diagnosed about a month ago although it was suggested to me years ago but I wasn't ready to accept the diagnosis. I'm struggling with the stigma. I feel that anyone I tell rolls their eyes and thinks, "Here's another thing you're going to complain about." I have treatment...

    So Much Pain

    I'm in so much pain today. It sucks because it's New Years Eve and I'm supposed to be happy. Not moping around the apartment laying down in the recliner nauseous because I'm in so much pain. We're supposed to be walking down by the Hudson to look at the fireworks tonight at midnight, and I'm...

    Feeling really low & a bit sorry for myself!

    Hi I've only just joined the group & really need a good kick up the backside to snap me out of this low mood! I've not been formally diagnosed with fibro yet, after going over my symptoms & finding so many tender points my rheumatologist said it was a possibility. I also have hypermobility...

    Is Having MS A Possibility?

    Hi my name is Jasmin and Im 21, was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia last year and I honestly feel like my situation is gradually getting worse. Lately my balance has been terrible, so bad that I have had 10-11 falls over the last 12 months and eventually bought a walking stick to help. I went to a...

    Having problems with Doctor's who believe in Fibromyalgia

    Moved here to Maryland, excited my doctors would be Johns Hopkins, over rated. They sent me out to a doctor at Kernan, awesome doctor, but he no longer is in my network. I am in constant pain. Anyone else have problems with finding a doctor? I don't even like to take pain meds, other doc worked...

    Hi, New Member Here

    Hi, this is my first time here. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia my junior year in college right before I turned 20 I think. I'd been experiencing pain since high school but since I was always a dancer I always attributed it to pushing too hard in dance or being sore from practice. It wasn't...
