. Diagnosed with FMS 01/1996 and CFS 08/1996. I was 36, in the prime of my career. It was not a gradual onset but sudden, one day fine, got the flu, apparently kicked it all off. I was in bed first two years while mainstream doctors worked to find medications that at least got me moving...

Hi, nice to meet you... I'm Exhausted.
First Contact
Back in 2007 I was working an emotionally taxing counseling job, that I loved, but for a shy and introverted, sensitive person it was probably too much. I must have gotten burned out and it was at this time that I first noticed feeling "not...

Quick back story, I was diagnosed with fibro late last year. . I was feeling pretty good about 2ish months and just recently I started getting headaches. These geadaches can last from an hour to days. Currently I've had this headache for 6 days. My problem is it doesn't feel like any I've had...
I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I have struggled with this most of my life. I am only 21 years old and pain for me started at 8. I was diagnosed with Lupus, JRA, Celiac, Enthasitis, Costochondritis and Ehlers Danlos before coming to the correct diagnosis. The reason being for my...
I've recently met a woman that has FM and I'm falling for her pretty badly. We haven't actually 'gotten together' in any meaningful sense, so she doesn't actually know that I'm romantically inteterested, but the vibes between us suggest to me that it might be heading in that direction. On the...

I have been trying to chase down a diagnosis since I had a sudden onset of symptoms a month after a car wreck 3 years ago. I am a 50 year old male and I have already been diagnosed with congenital spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, spinal/foraminal arthritis, and arthritis in both...
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away... sorry, I could not resist. That is just one of my other conditions rearing its head, StarWarsNerd-itis. Hey, we have to find something to laugh about, right?
Anyway, I guess this is my Fibro story...
I was always an active kid. I mean, I had my share...

Hi, I have not been officially told I have anything yet. My fingers are crossed"kinda" that I just have a viral infection.
Three weeks ago I went to Bali. Returned home with a gastro-infection that lasted about 4 days. About six days later I developed a bladder infection. On the mend from...
I was reading the information on the site and it said that fibro can actually be caused (they think) by trauma. I find this fascinating because I have a long history of trauma in my life, and no one else in my family has fibro. There seems to be no basis for where or how I contracted it...
