    Hello from near Port Macquarie

    I have at least three friends with fibro and although I have lived in constant fatigue and fog for at least 10 years do not believe I have either CFS or fibro. I think I'm an EDSer but have been sent for diagnosis to a rheumatologist in Port Macquarie. My appointment isn't until April next...

    Venting

    Again, I know this isn't the forum for this type of thing but I need to vent and it does play into my health problems. I won't go into all the details because I would have to write a novel.

Some of them include using a medication that is for alcoholics and opiate users to help block the effects of the drug in their brain so they can stop using them. It's called LDN or naltrexone. People have had great...

    Diagnosed Yesterday

    I was diagnosed with FM yesterday by a rheumatologist. This was after months of testing by my GP for the extreme fatigue and brain fog. I chalked the pain up to 'overdoing it' because everything started in April, when I began doing more outside yard work. A friend asked if I had considered the...
