    Hey y'all. New here.

    Hey everyone, I was officially diagnosed with Myofascial Pain Syndrome but also have some Fibro-like symptoms as well. The process of getting diagnosed was the most agonizing/frustrating experience ever. I was living in this perpetual state of discomfort/pain and no one could hep me or give me...

    I was diagnosed by my general physician but he seemed quick to make the diagnosis. But I have been to a neurologist, rheumatologist, ortho doctor all trying to figure this out. My neurologist did nerve tests on me and said they were fine and that I was just out of "condition". I realize I am out...

    Trying to keep a positive attitude

    Just diagnosed -- also have IC/PBS

    After years of having hip, low back, shoulder and neck pain that has waxed and waned, I was diagnosed with fibro last week by a rheumatologist. My pain has gotten worse these last few months. My stress also has increased, so I'm not all that surprised, I suppose. I am just feeling tired of...

    Hi. My name is Linda and I'm 55. I used to be an employed engineer until this chronic pain condition killed my career a few years ago. I haven't been officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia but I strongly suspect that's what the rheumatologist will say I when I see him next week. It took me...
