Hello. I'm new here. I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia this past Tuesday. I have been suffering since the beginning of March. 3/1/13-3/29/13 I tapered off Seroquel and Zoloft, which I was on for two years, Feb 2011, after the Renfrew Center forced me into taking it - refusing to treat me if...

Hello I am a 28 year old male and just a couple weeks ago I was diagnosed with Fibromayalgia by a Rhuematologist at UCLA. To summarize my situation: I hurt my shoulder at the gym 8 years ago. Nothing helped (Conservative treatment, Physical Therapy, Cortisone, Surgery). As time went on I went...
Most of us have spent years in an ongoing battle.

I'm self-employed and after 30 years of problems, now that I am on Medicare and don't have to worry about pre-existing conditions, I am going to doctors to finally try to find what is wrong with me.
After being to a rheumatologist, endocrinologist and they pretty much say probably fibromyalgia...

Hello!
(I posted part of this in the New Members area also)
I am honestly not sure what I am doing on here, hoping for support and to become closer to people who are suffering from the same things I am. This is sort of long, like a novel, so, I am sorry for that!
