    Serious stress

    I worked hard all of my life and saved money as best I could. Eight years ago I finally bought a little piece of land with a house on it and views of mountains. It is out away from town in a very quiet and peaceful place, where most of the time all you hear is birds and the breeze, which is...

    Really tired of the vicious circle

    Last night I was supposed to go to a party, and I had agreed to bring the coleslaw. I tried to pace myself all day, getting the things done I had to do but not over doing it, and made sure I had time to rest for 2 hours before time to leave for the party, but I could tell as the time approached...

    stress and pain and lack of medication

    Those of us with fibro all know that stress aggravates this condition. I had a really strong example of that yesterday. Had to do my taxes, which is always a highly stressful thing for me. First, anything having to do with numbers and money has always stressed me; I know that's silly, but it...

    genetics

    I'm just wondering does anyone else have family members with fibro...CFS or ME. I have often read that it is hereditary even though it may take a trigger or several to switch on the overload on our minds and bodies that cause this disease,..and why more trauma can change it from mild to...

    Do you experience a reset in activity tolerance??

    Hi folks, I've been sick for about a year now, and my doc has finally given me a "tentative" diagnosis of fibro. I really wanted the opportunity to speak with folks who have the condition and find out if what I'm experiencing falls in the realm of fibro possibility I guess. Last February, I...

    Best way to deal with a well meaning person who causes alot of additional stress?

    Hi! I'm new to this forum, and I have a question that I am hoping someone with experience in this can help me with! I have a family member who I love very much, but they are constantly convinced that if I would just do things "their" way, I will be magically cured of my fibromyalgia...
