Hi! I wanted to join your site as I have had Fibromyalgia since 1999. I was a Registered Nurse for 20 yrs & had to quit after the birth of my son 10 yrs ago. I loved my job I didn't want to but was physically suffering too much to take care of others & work 12 hr shifts. I spend a lot of time...

I've had pain that has been getting worse for 3 years now. It is to the point where it is every day, and I have just about every symptom that goes along with it. I have an appointment tomorrow, and hoping to get some answers. I was just wondering what led to the diagnosis for you?
Hi everyone I was just wondering if anyone else has a problem with pins and needles feelings in legs when showering? I was feeling good yesterday so thought I would have a shower but the minute the water hit my legs I had pins and needles that lasted all day and is still there a little. This is...

I went to the doctor this week because I had what I believe was a sinus infection. I had ear aches and one other weird symptom. It hurt to touch the back of my head and my scalp as well on the side of my head

Have apparently had FMS since childhood. Diagnosed myself @ age 39; had confirmation by several docs, beginning w/ neurologist. 56 now. Returned to school in 2000, but "Katrina" forced a relocation (and separation from my family) - a few months shy of graduation.
Difficult getting care - when...
I hope that I'm not upsetting anyone by starting a new thread, but I think that this is imperative information for those who suffer from any kind of anxiety. I have pulled this list from a website, and it can be accessed easily by anyone, should they care to do the right kind of research.

My journey started in Aug 2009. I had generic symptoms, starting with swelling in my hands and fatigue. I have been to several specialists each time a "new" symptom would appear and every test would come...

To clear up a few things the psych said that seem to have you concerned:
