    Hi I'm a 40 year newly minted patient with fibromyalgia. The diagnosis was made in September 2012. Before doing this I never heard of it. (of FM) The pain is unbearable, the worst thing is the right arm. That's painful that I learned to write with my left hand. It all started many years ago when...

    Fibro, Mental Illness, and Youth

    Every case of fibro/CFS is different. In my case, I was diagnosed at the age of 18 following previous diagnoses of Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety Disorder, ADD, and Asthma. Due to my lengthly list of health concerns, I think that my dad, sister, and brother have written me off as dramatic...

    Black Friday is Tomorrow

    Just curious if any of you will be participating in Black Friday tomorrow. Personally, I just can't be bothered to add that kind of stress upon my body. Standing out in the cold, dealing with frustrated people, and then lining up to pay for it - just not for me. I will be searching online for...

    Disability?

    Does anyone here have experience in filing for disability? The financial stress is way too much to handle, on top of the stress of the Fibro.

    New to FIBRO, still digesting it...

    Almost two months ago, my wrists started hurting. In another two weeks, all my joints were hurting. Sometimes it was so bad I couldn't concentrate at work, or enough to do just about anything else. I went to see my regular doctor, and I was tested for just about everything under the sun. All...

    Issues remembering things?

    I've been experiencing issues to remember things for a while now, but lately it's been worse. Just the other day I was coming out from the bank, and I swear I just forgot where the heck I had parked the dang car! I couldn't remember, I just looked around and felt so confused! If my mom hadn't...
