    New and anxious

    Hi everyone. I have not yet been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but I'm seeing a GP in two days after letting my symptoms get worse and worse the past few months. I've struggled with fatigue, depression, and endometriosis for as long as I can remember (I'm 25), and I started developing problems...

  3. Whyfor

    I think I'm finally ready to face it!

    Primarily thanks to this forum, I've come to the realization that I have spent several years just passively accepting my illness without ever knowing for sure what was causing my suffering. This happened because, I think, I've undergone about ten years of being told "I don't know what's wrong...

    Hi, just joined the forum.

    I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2002 and after drug sensitivity issues and appalling side effects I do not use ANY medication which can sometimes be tough. If things get really bad I may take ONE tablet. I would be interested to know if anyone has seen the video's of clarkchiro on youtube...

    Extra Sensitive Skin?

    Hello, I've been to multiple doctors for my chronic pain, and one of the possibilities was fibromyalgia. My skin randomly gets super sensitive to the touch. It's just my skin, and is completely different than my average chronic back pain. It's like when I sit too close to a heater for a while...

    Newly Diagnosed

    Hi. My name is Bev. I finally got diagnosed yesterday! Not that I wanted a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, but I wanted to know what was wrong with me and why I was having so much pain and sensitivity (even though in the back of my mind I knew). I even asked my Rheumatologist if there were any other...

    Not sure where to start

    I was on a sleep study and the report said I have brain waves consistent to Fibro but I told a Rheumatologist and he said he never heard of that. I told another doctor and he laughed at me. I have a lot of the classic symptoms; pain in my shoulders neck and hips, sensitivity to light, sound and...
