Never been diagnosed yet. I'm 53, have been having undiagnosed, random issues since I was 15. Eye twitching, lasting days to months, affecting my vision and making my eyes cross. bilateral shoulder pain that lasted for months at 20. So painful,I would put my arms inside my t shirt to hold my...
New member. I need a new PCP. My current one is inflexible and and unwilling to treat me as an individual, for fibro or anything else. Also doesn't coordinate with my psychiatrist. I am bipolar which is treated with same kinds of meds, so I've had experiences with both overdoses and...
My primary care doctor has been trying to help me with my pain for nearly two years. We both decided it was time to bring a specialist in to find out what is going on. My PCP suspects arthritis and fibromyalgia. I went yesterday for my rheumatology appointment where the specialist spent less...
Hi there,
My journey:
My mother had RA and used to tell me she was "crippled after I was born" and couldn't walk for weeks. I used to laugh at her silently and think she was being a little dramatic, couldn't believe that was true.

I was diagnosed with FM in 2007 by my PCP. He has been treating me with different things over the last 7 years. We are doing Lyrica right now and for the most part it has helped, but I have been feeling worse and worse for the last 4 months or so. I am also prescribed muscle relaxer and...
Hello! I can't tell begin to tell you how happy I was to find this forum tonight. For quite some time now, I've been struggling with a wide (and seemingly disconnected and bizarre) set of symptoms that have baffled my doctor. Luckily, he may have been baffled, but he is not dismissive. I give...
Hi All,
I woke up about a week ago with pain in my right ribs. I thought it was a pulled muscle but it didn't get any better for a few days. Finally, I went to the Urgent Care Clinic yesterday and had them do x-rays. Nothing showed up. It hurts when I breathe (no fever or cold and nothing...
Hi everyone, so lately I've been "blanking out" for a quick second here and there, a few weeks ago I started having moments of complete disorientation, not recognizing where I am or remembering what I'm doing. I saw my primary care dr and he scheduled me for an EEG to check for absence seizures...
I went to see a rheumatologist back in July; during this visit, I explained the fact that I had pain in all my joints, would get "flares" in both my hands at the same time to the point where I lost most of the strength in them in addition to the pain, etc. But, I was there primarily for...
