Hi! I'm in the process of being diagnosed, but I have not been to a specialist yet due to my lack of insurance. My doctor gave me info to help me get insurance so she can get me to a specialist (would this be a rheumatologist?) But has perscribed me some meds to help me feel better till then...
Hi
I'm a 40 year newly minted patient with fibromyalgia. The diagnosis was made in September 2012. Before doing this I never heard of it. (of FM)
The pain is unbearable, the worst thing is the right arm. That's painful that I learned to write with my left hand.
It all started many years ago when...
I am new here but not so new to this awful pain . I need people who understand and don't judge . I really don't have any support as I work in the medical field and fibro is a "joke" . My family is just sick of me being sick and my friends just tell me I need to be strong like I used to be . Yes...
I am Chris. I am a mom and grandma and have been battling this craziness for a few years now. Originally I thought I had just psoriasis. Nothing cleared it up. They started me on MTX and it was HORRID! Did it for 10 months, battled weekly nausea and exhaustion. Absolutely horrible side...

Good morning folks.
Although I'm officially just starting this fibromyalgia journey, of course I've been on it for years. It started right after my first son was born 7.5 years ago. Back pain, neck pain, headaches, insomnia, depression....you all know the rest. Massages and physical therapy and...
Almost two months ago, my wrists started hurting. In another two weeks, all my joints were hurting. Sometimes it was so bad I couldn't concentrate at work, or enough to do just about anything else. I went to see my regular doctor, and I was tested for just about everything under the sun. All...
Hi Got diagnosed with fibro last march but really put up with it a lot longer than that not understanding why i suddenly end up with chronic pain in the legs and through out the whole body. Think it reacted to having a bad back. Walking as if i am a 90 year old and even sometimes they walk...

Hello, I'm a 25 year old male that has been diagnosed with fibromyagia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Im sure I've had this longer than I have been diagnosed with it. I don't know how else to say it, fibromyalgia has torn my life apart. My life hasn't been the best anyway, my mother passed when...

I went to this lady who is also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia but is not living in the pain and all the other crappy symptoms that come along with it. She works now with people like me and I walked in completely thinking another crack head who does nothing looking for money.
First I sat down and...
I'm Sara. I'm a 30-something living in my hometown in Ohio. I've been sick a little over a decade with Fibro and CFS. I'm trying my best to keep my spirits up and fight against sickness the best that I can. I'm looking forward to meeting other positive people who can really understand what I'm...
