    Book recommendations requested

    I'm a reader. So when I was first referred to a rheumatologist, my first reaction was to do research. Now that I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I'd like to know what books you've read that have helped you understand the illness as well as how to live with it. (I'm not afraid of medical...

    Got a diagnosis, but I am not sure

    Yesterday my rheumatologist diagnosed me with fibromyalgia, but I am not sure if this is the correct diagnosis. For the last 12 years my main symptoms have been burning pains in my hands and feet, that can sometimes involve most of my body, that usually start at night, and end when I get up in...

    Gym/Workout

    My first post

    Fear of being labeled an imposter

    I've been dealing with chronic pain increasingly over the last two years. (I think longer, but I really started noticing it a couple of years ago.) I had my first appointment with a rheumatologist and he said I have fibromyalgia, and he thinks I also have an autoimmune condition. He ordered a...

    I was recently diagnosed with FM back in March. This has been about a 3 year process and I'm still not convinced. Three years ago I started having some pain and discomfort in the front and back of neck. Soon after I started having back spasms and they would cause me to be on the couch for a day...

    Reduced sweating (hypohidrosis)

    Hi there Do any of you suffer from reduced sweating? I've had really bad issues with the heat for the past two summers as I just don't sweat anymore (apart from under the arms). Had so many tests it's not funny, and finally my Rheumatologist has confirmed that it's linked to my Fibromyalgia and...
