Hi Everyone,
I am new to the forum and just read about the blood test FM/a. I read about the cytokines and the affect of inflammation. I found a great presentation by a chiropractor, but, alas, he is in Florida. Does anyone know of a doctor/practitioner with excellent results in the Los...
Hi. My name is Linda and I'm 55. I used to be an employed engineer until this chronic pain condition killed my career a few years ago. I haven't been officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia but I strongly suspect that's what the rheumatologist will say I when I see him next week. It took me...

My Dr refuses to do anything. She says the pain I am in is a result of my depression and anxiety and that the pain should go away once the depression and anxiety are under control. She refuses to accept the fact that my depression and anxiety are worse because of the pain, and are not actually...
Hi all
I'm new here and thought I'd introduce myself. :)
My name is Brooke and I'm 22. For about 4 years now I've been suffering, but we think it's been longer than that. The last two years my more extreme symptoms have come to the surface -- full body pain, horrible joint pain, a fever of...
My rheumatologist, who diagnosed me with fibro and CFS in May of 2014 has referred me to a psychiatrist. This referral was sent back in May and I am seeing this Psych tomorrow. I am very nervous about this and wonder if anyone else has had this experience.
I know that she is sending me as I...
Hi,
I am a 23 (almost 24) yr old female. I started having symptoms after spending my summer slaving on a lettuce farm. I developed the 'flu' and have never been able to be 'normal' since. I have been tested for everything under the sun and I walked into my GP's office one day and he said I...
I am not happy with the GP/Neurologist I have been working with since August. I won't go into details, but it basically comes down to the fact I don't trust her anymore. I asked to be taken off of Savella, and she said ok let's try Fetzima instead. It is almost an identical medication AND it...

Hello all,
Let me write you a short novel... hahaha
I'm 27 and was recently diagnosed with fibro by a rheumatologist after enduring months of pain, starting with my knees. After seeing my primary, both were x-ray'd and nothing found. I had to fight for a Lyme test to be done and came up...
