    Referred to Rheumatologist

    At first my doctor thought I had anxiety, but a few months went by and the pain/aching has set in. He did a tender point test and some places didn't bother me but he barely pressed down. Other spots felt like sore/tender muscles. He did bloodwork, testing for a long list of things and it all...

    I have always suspected I may have fibromyalgia but in a mild form, never been diagnosed yet. I also have hashimotos but levels are controlled by Armour Thyroid.

    Losing my mind

    All day, all I want to do is sleep. All night, I have no interest in sleeping because I don't want to have to get up in the morning. Could this be because no matter how long I lay in bed and sleep, I never feel better? I try to rest a lot on the weekends, but week days are full of time limits...

    Thanksgiving Caused Latest Flare

    No one in my family gets it. I'm the only woman in a family of men, so it's up to me to make the holidays happen. I spent the first part of the week shopping, spent two days cooking, by Thanksgiving night I was absolutely exhausted. Now I'm hurting all over. My IBS is going wild. I feel like...

    Going to a Rheumotologist for the first time

    I am almost 99.99% sure that what I have has to be Fibromyalgia. I have a long history with anxiety. My father passed away in 2008 from lung/stomach cancer that was very quick less than 6 months from diagnosis and my mom passed in 2009 from early onset alzheimers. Both were 60/58 years young...

    New and discouraged

    I am a 60-year-old California lawyer, diagnosed a couple of months ago. My husband has advanced Alzheimer's and I suspect the past 5 years of caring for him has taken a pretty big toll. I have tried Cymbalta, Trazadone and Ambien but nothing has helped yet. I cannot remember sleeping through...

    Struggling to cope

    Hi all. I've lived with fibromyalgia since 2014 (diagnosed) and like since 2010 undiagnosed. I'm a mom to a 10 month old baby. I'm a freelance writer, working about 15 hours a week. And a wife. In my pre-fibro life, I used to be a competitive weightlifting athlete, power-yoga teacher and...
