    Diagnosed Yesterday

    I was diagnosed with FM yesterday by a rheumatologist. This was after months of testing by my GP for the extreme fatigue and brain fog. I chalked the pain up to 'overdoing it' because everything started in April, when I began doing more outside yard work. A friend asked if I had considered the...

    Newly diagnosed with a symptom that I can't find info on...

    I've had migraines, back, and arthritis pain for years. A couple months ago, I started getting light headed spells and my doctor sent me to a neurologist, who after many tests diagnosed me with degenerative disc disease, carpal tunnel, and fibromyalgia all at once. I was dealing with the pain...

    Dealing with unhelpful doctors

    It seems that with fibromyalgia doctors don’t take it as seriously as diseases with known causes. I had a doctor ask me if I was stressed out and tell me that I’m too young and shouldn’t be having chronic pain. Another doctor saw me for five minutes and told me that a lack of serotonin causes...
