Hi,
I'm new here to the forum. I'm 30 now, was diagnosed in 2007, and until that time, I was in the best shape of my life. I worked 8 hours a day, then went to the gym for 1.5 hrs, and still had tons of energy to function.
When I got sick, I had no energy, was so exhausted that as soon as I...

I just joined today. I have not been diagnosed with fibro, but I suspect that is what I'm dealing with, so I am trying to learn more from the patient perspective as the clinical descriptions are all the same. Over the last several years I have had a hysterectomy and pelvic prolapse repairs, I...
I'm a mom and my kids were 2 & 4 when I got sick: Now they are 10 & 12. They do not know the "real" me. They don't remember how I was. I had to stop carrying my two year old around back then and that is hard for a baby girl. I could no longer hold her. I am sad that the mom they got is...
Well, here it is three days before Christmas, and I am desperate for a little human understanding - I have my Schnauzers and Chihuahua to provide creature comfort, it does help, but it isn't the same. I swore I wouldn't do this until after Christmas, because it just doesn't seem to be in the...
Hi All,
My mother has fibro. I have been lurking around reading the suggestions that some have found to help with managing pain. I have also done research online. I have found so much helpful information! The problem is, when I tried to present it to my mother she was uninterested. It makes me...
I was diagnosed with FMS several years go after a surgery that I never seemed to recover from. It took many frustrating dr visits, a multitude of tests, and years of fighting to get the treatment that works for me. While I do not have my entire life back, I am at a place where I can function...

Hi all: I am a newbie to the world of online support groups but unfortunately not unaccustomed to having pain and health issues since my early 20's. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune related disease in my mid twenties. Months ago I began experiencing chronic pain, and tenderness all over my...

Hello, I don't post very much on this site and see there are many new ones to the site since I last checked in. I was diagnosed with fibro over 2 years ago. I recently have been trying to get rid of a rash I have. It is on the palms of my hands and on the bottom of my feet. Does anyone else...
Hi guys,
I was at my rhuematologist yesterday and we were discussing my fatigue. He gave me the name of a dr in the UK that has done research and treatment for CFS. I visited the web site and found the information and studies interesting. Her name is Dr. Sarah Myhill.
After you read it, any...
I finally got the diagnosis that I have FM, it has been a long time coming and to be truthful I honestly believed that it would be FM long before my doctor settled on it. I have had unexplained hip, low back and joint pain with no inflammation found for years. It has become more intense and...
