Hello !
I am 40 years old woman from North Europe and I have no diagnosed fibromyalgia. Yet.
About 5 years ago I was helthy woman with big(?) family, good job, lot of dance hobbies, dog... Busy life, but I loved it. I never saw the doctors, no need for that.
First came stress, headache...

Does anyone ever feel like a hypochondriac? How do you know if its just a new fibro flare up or something you should have your doctor review? If I went to the Dr. every time I had a sharp pain in the gut, or random pain in my spine I would be living at the clinic.
I feel like I don't know what...
I know depression is a symptom, but is Cymbalta/Lyrica used to reduce depression or pain? If so why wouldn't other anti depressants help? Possibly stronger doses?

My pain started with both ankles aching and "burning" in January and a few days later my thighs ached liked I had done a workout yet I hadn't. I hadn't been on the treadmill because I thought that is what caused my ankle problems. Then I started with the tingling and numbing sensations in my...
My pain started a year and a half ago in my hands, then my feet. 5 months later I went to the ER with chest pains and was diagnosed with chostocondritis. 3 months after that the horrible migraines started, then the neck pain, then the throat, more chest pain, breast pain, and stomach issues the...
I know the treatment options for FM vary a lot, and am wondering if anyone has found help with either yoga or tai chi?
Even with this most recent flare of fibro, with a painful episode of costochondritis, I am trying to find other treatment options that are more naturopathic.
For me fatigue...
In 1983 I was diagnosed with 'Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder'. I had some pain, but had extreme fatigue.
IN 1990, at age 43, I had a 'flare up' and saw a rheumatologist who diagnosed FM.
What a relief to finally have a definitive diagnosis!
All these years I have had occasional flare-ups...
Hi everyone,
I'm so happy to find this forum :) I was diagnosed this past Spring after 6 years of symptoms. The diagnosis really through me off, I had no clue fibro is what i've been dealing with but it all makes sense now. I struggle but take things one day at a time and try to remain...
