    Gender specific

    I've noticed men have the ilness less then women and it would probably be nice to have a place for them to connect. It's not being discriminating it's aknolleging a difference at times. im not sure, but I think the male population probably has a harder time finding support or even acknowledging...

    Inflatable Cervical Collar for Neck Pain

    I've had neck pain for years, after an injury when I was 12-years-old. My doctor back then gave me a cervical collar to wear, and it helped with my pain. That collar got lost in a move, and I was subsequently re-injured, so my pain is even worse now. These days I do a lot of stretches, as well...

    Hello! Been diagnosed for 8 years now!

    Hi, I'm 20 years old and was diagnosed with fibro when I was 12 after 3 hospitalizations, a case of gastritis, mild encephalitis, and some confusing test results lol. To be honest, I feel like it may still be a last-ditch diagnosis, or, since it is a syndrome, a diagnosis that doesn't quite...
