    I'm sad, I'm mad....

    I have had my fibro diagnosis for a couple of months now a long with a suspected lupus diagnosis. I have known for years that something was wrong and thought that it would be a relief to finally be diagnosed but... Well not so much. My last child is in school all day. This is supposed to be...

    Feeling hopeless

    Hi I'm a newbie (to this forum not fibromyalgia) I'm a 34yr old mother of 3 and for 7yrs I've complained of fatigue and all over body pain. I was diagnosed about 8 months ago and have had every test done to finally get a answer to why at 34 I feel like a 90yr old woman. I was first prescribed...

    Diagnosed last week and in slight denial

    Last week a rheumatologist diagnosed me with fibromyalgia/chronic pain. I should share that I was diagnosed as hypothyroid 4 years ago. And I'm overweight. I've blamed many of my problems on my weight, even as my dosage for my hypothyroidism has increased. Over the last two + years, many...

    Foods that fight pain

    I have been reading today and came across a few articles about foods that can help you fight pain. I know of dark green veggies like brussel sprouts and broccoli that help with inflamation and pain but are there any others associated with pain relief?

    Major Relief from Pain

    Hello - I am new here. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for 19 years; my doctors say I have probably suffered from it since my 20s - so nearly 40 years. I only have VA for health care, so it has been a struggle to find medications, alternative treatments, and supplements that work. I...

    New here...flare up!

    Hi all. I have been battling this beast for 12 years, but was only diagnosed a few years ago (CFS diagnosis in 02). All these years, I've had flare ups, but some just seem to be worse. My vent for today is this: My husband has severe PTSD. He is 100% disabled veteran, but sometimes I just need...

    fibro diagnosis-looking for advice

    Hi everyone! I think I have had fibromyalgia for years but I was diagnosed in May 2014. I'm a 30 year old stay at home mom of two girls from Michigan. I feel some relief in knowing that I have a syndrome not a string of things constantly wrong with me! Also I was surgically diagnosed with...

    I'm new here

    Hi! My name is Linda and I was given a fibro diagnosis at the beginning of May. I believe this is something I've been dealing with for awhile though (as I'm sure it is for most people that finally get the diagnosis). For me, getting the diagnosis was a big relief. I certainly wasn't looking to...
