I haven't been here in a while, and had forgotten I use to be a member. I found this forum again, and after reading what Fibromyalgia can do to us I knew it was time to come back here.
I also have sjogren's, lupus, hypothyroid, and diabetes type 2, so I think I have been minimizing what this...
I have been handling my fibromyalgia diagnosis for about 3 months, along with the degenerative disc disease diagnosis that I received at the same time, pretty well. In September, I suddenly lost use of my left leg for unknown reasons. The best guess anyone gave for this happening was a nerve...

For Amy Mullholand, simple chores like washing the dishes or making breakfast can be incredibly challenging. “On a good day, I can get through the cups and the silverware, then I must sit for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Then I tackle the bowls. Then I sit and rest,” said Mullholand. “On a bad...
I think this subject has been talked about before but I can't find it. Does anyone else suffer from hair loss? Every time I take a shower and comb my hair out I will find big clumps of hair in the comb. Do you think it's the condition that causes it or is it the stress of the having the...
Again, I know this isn't the forum for this type of thing but I need to vent and it does play into my health problems. I won't go into all the details because I would have to write a novel. The gist of it is this. Several years ago my brother in law (my husbands brother) got into a fight with...

Hello everyone,
I hate to start off my time here with a vent like this but I feel like I have no one to talk to who "gets it" and if I don't off load some of what I'm going through right now, I'm going to explode I think. Please bear with me if I seem fragmented... I'm mid flare and utterly...
So I had my stress test yesterday and I can say in all honesty that I did not enjoy it. I wasn't able to walk on the treadmill so they had me lay on a table, inserted an IV into the back of my hand which took them 8 tries before they finally got it in. Also they made me lay on my left side...
Ok, so Sunday afternoon my husband and I went out for lunch. When we got home I just sat in the car for a few minutes. My husband asked me if I was coming in the house or what. I told him I don't think I have the energy to make it. So I sat in the car for a few more minutes and finally...
I have three kids ages7,4, and 9 months. I guess I've been having these symptoms progressively worse for years. I quit work because of stress 3 years ago but now I think it may have been because of the fibro symptoms. I can laugh off knocking over a whole display of salsa in the grocery store or...
hello / fever question
Hi I'm Leeta,
I've been suffering a large flare up starting back in May; main problem is the low grade fever that sometimes spikes. HOW can i get rid of this fever? Last time, it went on for 3months and finally went away - that was when i first was diagnosed. Now...
