    Finding something that works for me and wanted to share.

    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. a...

    Newly Diagnosed, yet not sure my symptoms fit...

    Hi there, I'm new here and was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia by my rheumatologist. She didn't seem totally confident with the diagnosis but sort of as a way to "give me something" and send me on my way. This is going to be long but I would so appreciate some thoughts. Here's some...

    Always afraid and anxious

    Hello all! I'm new here and just trying to come to grips with my Fibro symptoms. I am always afraid! Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm always scared something "bigger" is happening and I am in constant state of anxiety. For instance, my right arm has been in different "levels" of pain and...

I try not...

    What kind of doctor best for managing Fibromyalgia?

    I'm very new to the diagnosis. Well, somewhat new.. May 2015. I was diagnosed by a rheumatologist, a BAD one, and I'm not sure if I should be seeing a rheumatologist or a neurologist. Which do you all think is best for fibromyalgia symptoms management etc?
