    What do you like to read?

    Being afflicted with chronic pain tends to force you to rest a lot. In the many years that I suffered from constant discomfort, I pend a lot of time reading. I would read anything, from books, magazines to newspapers, always hungry for information and ready to get distracted from my pain. Even...

    Canes, wheelchairs, walkers, oh my!

    I don't see a lot of people talking about using mobility aids, and I searched and there's not really any threads about it either! I currently use a cane, but even on good days, going more than half a mile with it will guarantee a flare up, and on bad days I can't go out at all. I'm thinking of...

    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...

    Tennis (elbow), anyone?

    I have had a bad case of tennis elbow in both elbows now for close to a year. I've learned to cope with it just like the rest of my daily pain and fatigue. I take Naprocyn and use stabilizing supporters on both elbows, which helps quite a bit for a while. I am an artist and musician, so I...

    Greetings from a new member

    I was diagnosed two years ago, but the worst symptoms didn't hit until this past winter. I'm 62, so I assumed a lot of my aching joints/bones was arthritis, which I also have...runs in my family. I was tested at age 42 for rheumatoid arthritis, but was negative. I had an aunt who had crippling...

    Glad to Have Found this Site

    I've been diagnosed for about 12 years now but I haven't really dealt with my fibro or chronic fatigue until recently. I have finally started taking care of myself recently and part of that is accepting the fact that I have chronic pain and fatigue and may need more help or rest. That is the...
