Hi everyone! My name is Crystal. I unfortunately was diagnosed with Fibro in November. I kinda knew I would eventually be diagnosed with fibro because my mom has been suffering with it for 10+ years. I have been going through some sort of illness for the last five years. If it wasn't some...

Like others before me, I am grateful for a place to discover more about my recently diagnosed fibromyalgia. All of you understand - to some degree - how I am feeling.
Last summer a young man we know from Louisiana told us that his wife has fibromyalgia. We were so sad for this beautiful young...
My name is Jenny. I have had chronic pain disorders for over the past 10 years. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 1999 and it has been a struggle with multiple surgeries and synthetic menopause, etc. I have also battled chronic migraines since I was 16. You don't want to hear all my little...
My FM diagnosis was nearly six years ago. Unfortunately, I also have 3 herniated discs and several associated problems with that. Plus I was diagnosed with celiac three years ago. :sad: However, I do not allow this to control me. Initially I did and life was more difficult than it needed to...

I am new to this forum and to sharing about this illness. I was diagnosed in 2009, but refused to acknowledge that I have fibromyalgia until about 2 months ago. I never told anyone I had it and I convinced myself I didn't. Every time I feel good, I think that I am going to feel good forever...
I'm a mom and my kids were 2 & 4 when I got sick: Now they are 10 & 12. They do not know the "real" me. They don't remember how I was. I had to stop carrying my two year old around back then and that is hard for a baby girl. I could no longer hold her. I am sad that the mom they got is...
Hi All,
My mother has fibro. I have been lurking around reading the suggestions that some have found to help with managing pain. I have also done research online. I have found so much helpful information! The problem is, when I tried to present it to my mother she was uninterested. It makes me...
Hello to all of you! You seem like such a nice community, and while I admit I've never joined a forum particular to my currently unknown condition, I must say, I feel both excited and nervous!
So, here's my story, put as simply as I can manage: I am a 27 year old female with a ten year history...
