I've had a rough winter, my fibromyalgia and lupus seem to only be getting worse. I've had symptoms since I was 9, but I wasn't diagnosed until age 22. Having a diagnosis is bitter sweet. I have proof that it's not in my head and I'm not overreacting, but it also means that this isn't going to...
There are many different types of doctors out there in our great big world. Finding the right one maybe as easy as asking yourself how you want to feel the rest of your life. Do you want to feel free from drugs, or full of as many as your body can handle to ease the chonic pain Fibromyalgia...
I was just wondering if anyone has the same problem I do. I have fibro for sure and CFIDS, depending on the physician. Anyway, I work about 10 hours a day, Monday through Friday. Yes, I know that is stupid, but that is part of my job. Anyway, on the weekends I end up sleeping all night and...

She is, for the past four years, constantly in pain...she gets...
There are lots of theories out there about FMS/CFS. It's a thyroid problem, it's a digestive problem, candida, it's an autoimmune problem, etc. But not enough research is being done to get to the bottom of it. The reason for that is twofold, in my opinion.
1. Fibromialgia and chronic fatigue...
For the last two years of going to different doctors and feeling like I was seeing the wrong doctors, since I wasn't only diagnosed with this but I was also diagnosed with Diabetic neuropathy, which honestly I did expect being a diabetic for so long. My symptoms were much different when I first...
Hello, thank you for reading my thread. I just don't know what else to do. I can talk to my family and friends about what I am going through, but no one really knows what I am going through.

I am wondering if anyone has some advice on trying to help with eye pain related to light sensitivity. I suffer from pain all over but the pain in my eyes is what is the major reason I am unable to work. I can only go for a period of about 15-20 minutes of looking at my computer screen without...
