    Soft Tissue Rheumatism

    Hello everyone, This is my first post on here! I've been struggling with psoriatic arthritis (autoimmune) for coming one ten years now, but I've only been diagnosed with fibromyalgia since last year. I had been struggling with pain much worse than my PsA should have caused, and I finally found...

    Recent diagnosis & overwhelmed with despair.

    I'm new to the forums and have been reading a bit. I have so many symptoms that no doctors (and I see many) will give me an answer or solution other than medications that will make me sicker. I feel like I'm slowly dying, literally, and I can't for the life of me understand why doctors simply...

    Integrative Medicine and Elimination Diet

    I finally got into the Integrative Medicine practice yesterday. It was a very long, 2-hour appointment, but she covered every little nook and cranny of my health. She told me that all my conditions - fibro, IBS, GERD, rosacea - are all because of inflammation in my body. She wants me to go on...

    Should I be scared?

    Recently I suspected that I had RA like my father did during his life. But after seeing a specialist in the field I found that no I didn't have RA I had OA in more than one joint and Fibromyalgia in mild form.

    Going Medless

    Hey all, It's only been 8mo since I came down with fibro. I've been tested for a hell of a lot of things, but all has come back negative except for the ANAs. So I think I may have mitochondrial damage from a medication I had been taking (unrelated to fibro). I can't even tolerate OTC drugs...

    Research - Hyperbaric hope for fibromyalgia sufferers

    I found this article in the sidebar of one of my favorite newsgroups and thought I would pass it along. You can find the entire article by searching on the title (in bold below). It may not be a cure, but it is a step in isolating the problem.
