Hello. I feel a little strange writing this post, as I know I’m not the only one who reads forums about fibro. Still, I really need your help. This post is long, and very personal. My questions are at the end.
My girlfriend of three years was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia/chronic...

I don't really know how to begin telling you my story, but to say that it was just a total nightmare; I really believe at this time that if my God had not made this work better for me, I would not still be alive at this time! It all started because of my being an idiotic child in the 7th grade...

I have been gone a while, but I am back. I have had a rough past couple weeks. I recently started up my weigth loss journey again. Only to have one thing after another happen. I am in a "weight loss support group" with all women who are overweight. They say I am making too many excuses, because...

I've already been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, after which I promptly pissed off my Rheumatologist by saying I thought nobody believed that to be a legitimate diagnosis. He said, "Well, I do."
I've always had bad luck with doctors. They always say I have an unusual case. Nothing is ever easy...

So.. I live in Arizona. It is HOT. Let me give you bit of a back story. I know some of you may have seen some of my previous post, but let me sum things up.
Okay. I am going through a divorce. Lost my job, my apartment, about to lose my car. So yes a hard time. All of these things were out of...
I am probably going to sound like I am rambling, so I apologize in advance, I just need to get this off my chest.
Let me start with background... I have been suffering silently with this for many, many years. A couple of years ago I couldn't take it anymore when after work every day I would...

Right now my brother is in Germany. He is in the US Army. He was my rock. Him and I have always been close. When I went through all my medical issues, relationship issues and friendship issues, my brother was there.
I am 8 years older than him, but he has been such a great friend. I haven't...
I have had symptoms of fibromyalgia for years. 10-15. It crept up on me slowly. First was the fatigue, but I had just had a baby so they ran a bunch a blood test to see if my hormones were out of wack, etc nothing showed up so they just told me I needed to let my body recover.
I also...
Hello all!
Although I'm new here I'm not new FMS it's many frustrations. I was diagnosed in 2009. Currently on disability leave from work and will probably retire very soon. I was also diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (in 2005) and Sjogren's (two months ago). I had Ulcerative Colitis in my...
Hi Everyone. My name is Tami. I'm 44 years old and I am newly diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. You are probably curious as to why I say I don't believe the diagnosis. Well, I have been having fatigue, skin pain?, memory/cognitive impairment, swollen lymph node in my neck, rash on my chest, joint...
