    pain in the morning almost gone by evening

    I don't know if this is fibro, RA or PMR but in the morning I am so stiff and sore I can barely get out of bed and get ready for the day. We go t the gym three days a week where I do weight machines and cardio machines and take a nap when we get home. On the days we don't go to the gym, I just...

    Massaging sore spots

    Does massaging sore spots actually do any good? They feel like they need to be massaged because they're painful, but when I do massage them, the next day it just feels bruised, even when I don't touch them. Also, I seem to have trouble with sore spots on my ribs (as well as everywhere else)...

    Extremely tender upper arms!?

    Hello! I know with fibromyalgia there are the tender points, but I've checked and this dosent seem to be one. For years, the upper part of my arm has been very sensitive and tender, to the point that even the lightest pat or tap hurts and radiates and lasts for a while. I am in the middle of a...

    There's a good chance this is Fibro. Do my symptoms sound familiar?

I am seeing an Endocrinologist at the beginning of next month. But here is what I have been dealing with: 1.) Extreme...

    It's official - starting on the right foot

    Hi all, Fairly new to the forum (been poking around since I realised I probably had fibro). I saw the rheumatologist yesterday and it's more or less official: I have Fibro. He checked for tender points (didn't get a count, but I have a bunch) and the symtoms questionnaire all came up positive...

    Tender points while on meds.

    Hey, I am currently being evaluated for Fibro, and finally see the rheumatologist on Monday. I'm not sure entirely what to expect, but probably they will check for tender/trigger points. I'm pretty sure I have several, though probably not all of them. There are spots on the side of my elbows...

    This is all really new

    I was just recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, although I have been experiencing the pain for about 5 years. I am about to turn twenty, and I spent the majority of my high school experience in constant pain and feeling like I was crazy. It was so difficult to be so young and struggle to do...

    Exercise

    I've been trying to do better about getting healthier and conditioning my body to function better living with fibromyalgia. After years of being sedentary and living on pain meds I have finally decided to change my lifestyle. I'm off pain meds and on 1200mgs of Gabapentin instead. It works...
