    Pain Question

    Hi Everyone- I am new to the site. I have a question regarding my pain. I have read all I can find on fibromyalgia and it all describes "generalized pain". However, I have what I call my "traveling pain". Two weeks ago my feet were killing me, it hurt to walk. Last week it was my chest. The last...

    My FM

    In 1983 I was diagnosed with 'Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder'. I had some pain, but had extreme fatigue. IN 1990, at age 43, I had a 'flare up' and saw a rheumatologist who diagnosed FM. What a relief to finally have a definitive diagnosis! All these years I have had occasional flare-ups...

    New Diagnosis of Ongoing Pain

    Hi all! I guess I fall into the category of "recently diagnosed." The condition is not recent though. I have been suffering from fatigue, pain, restless legs and cognitive symptoms for a couple years now. Recently, I had the opportunity to see a rheumatologist who suggested that it was...

    Meds

    I have been on Naproxen 500 mg since late March and it has been working pretty well. My rheumatologist and primary care doc were in a pissing match over who would authorize a refill. They have given me 3 months, so I will have to start researching a new med. I have been in a fibromyalgia study...

    I think I have FM, but MD has not diagnosed

    I started having pain back in 2011 after I began a part-time job that was more physical than I had performed before. I was just into my 40s, so not a good idea I guess since all my jobs had been sedentary before. I was in decent shape though and it was just part-time, so I didn't think...
