    I'm new here

    Hi! My name is Linda and I was given a fibro diagnosis at the beginning of May. I believe this is something I've been dealing with for awhile though (as I'm sure it is for most people that finally get the diagnosis). For me, getting the diagnosis was a big relief. I certainly wasn't looking to...

    Just Joined

    Hi everyone. My name is Terri and I just joined the group. I was with fibromyalgia about 3 years ago and I basically deal with all of my symptoms and pain by myself. Most friends and family treated me like my ailments were psychosomatic. Needless to say, I don't talk about my pain, stiffness and...

    Will you please describe your morning stiffness?

    I get asked by doctors if I have morning stiffness and I tell them that I don't, then I get funny looks. And I wonder if I don't really have fibro because I don't have morning stiffness. But perhaps I don't understand what morning stiffness means. Would you guys be so kind as to describe what...

    Magnesium Malate and B12

    My wonderful new doc has been great working with me to find new tools to dampen the fibro fire. In addition to the elimination diet (which has been eye-opening), she had me begin taking magnesium malate a month ago as a trial to see if it would work for me. I am happy to report that I have been...

    How do you get people to take you serious about your pain

    I don't want to seem like a whiner at work or at home but how do you show the actual pain without seeming like a complainer? My boss doesn't realize the extent of my pain because I try to hide it as much as I can. Yesterday I had a terrible cramp in my leg when I stood up. I hurt so bad I...

    Fibro Caused by PTSD?

    I was reading the information on the site and it said that fibro can actually be caused (they think) by trauma. I find this fascinating because I have a long history of trauma in my life, and no one else in my family has fibro. There seems to be no basis for where or how I contracted it...
