Hi everyone! I am 60 years old, was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in June of 2011, sent to a specialist who further diagnosed me with Fibro in Nov of that year. Prior to that my GP put me on Arthrotec, then Celebrex, sent me to a psychiatrist (pain specialist) & a neurologist, to no avail...
Hi everyone,
Well, for the past few months I've been on a roller coaster ride of crazy symptoms and have seen over half dozen doctors. Two of those (general practitioner/ family doctors) say clinically I present as having MS. I had a brain MRI that showed two small lesions, but that one...
I really need to vent so have decided to do it here. I have had fibro for 2 years, it is so severe I cannot work. My neurologist told me from the beginning he believes it is work-related. I filed for social security disability, got denied twice, filed my second appeal and am just waiting for...

Hi folks.
I have been experiencing various symptoms for a long time now and am one step away from a diagnosis of M.E. I have seen a neurologist, rheumatologist and M.E. specialist. Everyone seems to think I have M.E.
I'm worried it could be something else, like ALS, and I wondered if you could...
I'm trying to find anything that my help my dad with his terrible fatigue he is having lately. We mentioned the drug Mestinon to his ALS neurologist and he said No, that it wouldn't help him at all. Do any of you taking any vitamins? I thought that might help a little. Any suggestions would be...

My journey started in Aug 2009. I had generic symptoms, starting with swelling in my hands and fatigue. I have been to several specialists each time a "new" symptom would appear and every test would come...
