Hi. I am so happy to have found this site! I was diagnoses with FM several years ago, but was not given ANY information whatsoever. So I try to learn as I go. I do not know anyone with FM, so this has been pretty much a solo journey. I have been inundated recently with so many physical symptoms...
I went for my first rheumatoligist visit yesyerday and she started me on cymbalta. I wondered how long it took for some people to feel any results with this. She referred me to a sleep psychologist and have me flexeril to take at night. She wants me to see a nuerologist but have not been able to...
Are these symptoms normal? I am really tired most of the time, without doing anything. That is probably the worst of my complaints, the rest I can deal with.
But my head feels unusually heavy and the back of my neck burns (like a massive sunburn that won't go away) and the burning spreads...
I just heard from my friend that she has fibromyalgia but doesn't take medications to relieve her symptoms. Instead, she changed her diet and her symptoms have improved. She doesn't eat gluten, corn or dairy. I think she does this also because she has celiac, but it also helped with her...
I am struggling to find a legit doctor which diagnoses and treat Fibromyalgia in the Dallas TX area. I have struggled with symptoms doctor's cannot diagnose for so many years, I have begun to do my own research. I am tired of feeling embarrassed to talk about my symptoms to doctors and I am...
Hello, my name is Katie, and this is my first time on a support site for Fibromyalgia. I think I have hit the wall on talking, explaining, and generally wining about my Fibromyalgia to friends and family. They seem to just now change the subject and are not interested in hearing me anymore...

I have been a lurker on Fibromyalgia forums for years but I am a pretty private person so I never joined the forums and online support groups because I didn't want people to feel sorry for me. I have finally had some success in treating my health issues and decided it was time to share.
