My name is Br. John ... I'm a Benedictine Monk and have been recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Having said that, the Specialist believes that I have had it for many years but was undiagnosed because of my physicians unwillingness to refer me to a Rheumatologist. My GP just thought it was...
I feel like I have come girl circle in the last five years with no relief. I have been to GM doctors, chiropractors, rheumatologist, spinal specialist all to no avail. I had a c5/6 spinal fusion in 2011 which shows everything exactly in tact but my body functions seem to be getting weaker daily...

My family doctor diagnosed me a couple years ago and has me on Cymbalta for pain. The pain has gotten much worse even though my life, activity, diet hasn't changed much. I take either ibuprofen or naproxen at the max dose every day just to function. My dr gave me Ultram but will only give me 10...

Don't know if anyone else has similar symptoms as my daughter. She has always had knee problems patella not sitting right and had spells of flu like illnesses all through secondary school. Also had for over two years on and off when she was younger what seemed like bladder infections but no...
