    When to go to the ER ....

    Hi, I've had broken bones in my youth and my parents did not take me to the ER. So I suppose that made me think that the ER is for really urgent and serious life or death cases, and a broken/sprained finger/ankle/wrist etc. can be handled during a regular doctor's visit. I know that was a very...

    brain MRI

    Hi, I was wondering whether most of you have had a brain MRI done during the process of your fibromyalgia diagnosis? To rule others options out? I never have one done of my brain, and now that I have serious tingling/numbness in my feet, I think I want a scan done just to rule anything else...

    Feeling completely humiliated

    Today is not a good day! I went in for vascular surgery only to be turned away by the surgeon because of weight/BMI issues. My weight has rocketed since Christmas, I gained 2 stone in 2 weeks and it is still increasing by the day. I saw my GP a couple of weeks ago and mentioned concerns about...

Add a blizzard to the mix and you get a 4 day, 3...

    Should I care?

    I'm mostly only making this post because someone I care about told me I should look for more answers. I've only had fibromyalgia for about 4 years, and the first year or so I could still kind of function but it's slowly become worse and worse. For a long time I tirelessly pursued relief and...
