    Hi from California!

    Hi all, Newbie here. This is the first time I have ever joined a forum. So, Please bare with me. :smile: I was diagnosed a year ago in January. It seems like I have been trying to find out whatever I can about Fibro. I don't understand why doctors think it's in your head. Is that just an excuse...

    Hello

    Hi i was diagnosed with Fibro & CFS in 1993, but it probably started around 1988. I also have autoimmune conditions as well. I have noticed my symptoms revolve through a 7-8 year cycle of severity. I have accepted that my life has limitations now and work hard to have as normal a life as...

    What would you say?

    Normally when people I work with greet me in the mornings and ask how are you doing, I will just smile and say fine and I hope you are. Then there are those that I work with that I can call my friends and know what is going on with my health for the last several months who ask me the same thing...

    New Here

    Hi! I've been suffering from fibromyalgia/CFS for over a year now. I seemed to have gotten it fairly suddenly, after a flu like illness - and I ended up losing my job due to the restrictions it puts on my life. Until recently, I had tried to remain hopeful and kept thinking, somehow, I would...

    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...

    Majority of my pain is from Muscle Cramps. Does anyone else have a similar experienc?

    I rarely experience allodynia, but I have tremendous pain from muscles that repeatedly cramp up. Massage, even deep tissue massage, or self-massage with a hard tool usually provides significant relief for the acute pain. These cramps pop up all over my body. Pretty much whenever I use a muscle...
