    Sun Sensitivity

    Since I've had Fibromyalgia my eyes have been extremely sensitive to light. I pretty much wear sunglasses most of the time but recently I noticed some changes when I'm in the sun. I've spent pretty much every summer in the sun and I naturally have dark skin and tan easily. My 3rd time in the sun...

    Another Dr. , Another frustration - when will I know what's wrong?

    Sigh, all I want for Christmas is a doctor who will figure out what the heck is wrong with me! :confused: So my rheumatologist does not treat Fibro, he "only excludes it as a possibility" None of the tests he ran came back with a clue as to what might be the cause of my fatigue, muscle pain...

    get checked for gluten intolerance

    I had all the symptoms: brain fog, tiredness, headaches, depression, joint pain, muscle pain and colitis (IBS) and was eventually diagnosed with FM.

    Extreme pain in hands & feet?

    Hello, I am relatively newly diagnosed with fibro (3 months ago). For me it seems like I've been struggling with the pain and degeneration for more than 6 years. My father's name for it is "the creeping crud." I wonder if others have the same trouble I do with the pain in your hands and feet...

    Gluten and the staff of life

    It’s doubtful that the biblical staff of life exists any longer. In the 1960s and 70s, genetic engineering transformed wheat and other grains into poorly nutritional but more profitable products. Engineered grains have challenged physiology and general health. The culprit appears to be glutens...

    20, chronic pain - what does it sound like to YOU?

    Hi! Let me be another one of those people coming in here panicking about how they think they have fibromyalgia ;P I am 20 years old. I've had chronic pelvic pain since I was about 16 (chalked up to my polycystic ovarian syndrome, despite the fact that I've had ultrasounds, pelvic exams and even...

    Struggling with increasing symptoms

    I am a 26 years old and was diagnosed December 2013 with fibromyalgia after many years of neck and upper back pain. My pain started with very tight muscles and frequent spasms. I'd get headaches and just a lot of pain in my neck. Now that has diminished somewhat, although I still get shooting...
