IMC-1 is designed to suppress the activity of herpes simplex virus 1 (the kind that causes cold sores). I hadn't...

I do have most of the symptoms for Fibromyalgia and none for Chronic Fatigue. I, though, also have had severe/excruciating lower...

    Fibro &Relationships

    Diagnosed with fm after age 60

    Is there anyone else who was a "senior" when diagnosed with fibromyalgia? If so, what are you doing as far as treatment. I've tried and quit lyrica. I'm afraid to start cymbalta.

    I've just turned 23 and I'm in shock, it's hitting me pretty hard. I had so many plans for my life and now I don't know if any of my goals are achievable. I've had a long history of severe mental illnesses, and although I've been healthy for about six months, this diagnosis has sent me in a tail...
