Glad to have found this group. It's calming knowing that the ones here don't judge. I've had this dreadful monster since 1994....way too long. Although back then we didn't know it was fibro. Also have degenerative disks in my lumbar area and cervical area - and arthritis - not sure if it's...

I hope you will read my story and give me your opinion. I am at the end of my rope. I am an almost 40 year old female.
In the past 4 years, I have been diagnosed with IBS-D, TMJ, and anxiety problems (GAD and panic attacks).
7 months ago, I started having lots of pain under my ribs. It would...

I have experienced pain for 6 years now. Even though my doctor says I "probably" have it, he has not formally diagnosed me. We have r/o all other things through blood work. I tend to go in to him when I am not flaring, so think that makes a difference. i tend to feel it in my shoulders, elbows...
I ask this because about a year ago I experienced the hardest month of my life. I had been diagnosed with fibro for 4 years prior before deciding to board a plane to a foreign country to adopt a 3 year old. Talk about terrifying! I was not sure I could handle another child with the way I felt...

Does anyone get migraines with their fibro flare ups?
My fibro is flaring up today, and my head is also killing me!
I am sensitive to migraines, and stress often triggers them.
But I guess stress also triggers my fibro to some extent.

Hello everyone. !st I want to say I really appreciate having this place to come to where people actually understand what it is like to have fibro. NO ONE in my family has a clue or has ever shown any interest in trying to understand.
I have had this for many many years. The last year of...
