I'm just wondering does anyone else have family members with fibro...CFS or ME.
I have often read that it is hereditary even though it may take a trigger or several to switch on the overload on our minds and bodies that cause this disease,..and why more trauma can change it from mild to...
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...

My first symptom, almost 2 years ago when I was 57, was mainly fatigue. I couldn't understand why I...

Yesterday my rheumatologist diagnosed me with fibromyalgia, but I am not sure if this is the correct diagnosis. For the last 12 years my main symptoms have been burning pains in my hands and feet, that can sometimes involve most of my body, that usually start at night, and end when I get up in...

Last week my neighbor wanted to borrow my folding table. I couldn't find her number to call her to tell her to pick it up, so I decided I would bring it over. Granted, the...
While attempting to put the pieces of this fibro puzzle together for myself, licorice came to mind.
I remember reading once that licorice could cause adverse effects in some people: this is according to the University of Maryland Medical Center:
