    First time visit

    Hi, This is my first time doing this and I hope it gives my family and friends a break from me. When I was diagnosed (about 4 years ago) I really didn't believe I had it. The only thing I knew about it was the commercials on TV for the drugs. I had a gall bladder attack and the doctors did...

    Introduction and Finding the Best Doctor

    Hi everyone. I'm a little shy and it has taken me two years since my diagnosis to join this or any forum.

    The journey begins...not really...

    I say the journey begins, because I am just starting to understand what is possibly causing the the chronic pain and fatigue I have dealt with for the last 5 years. And what a journey it is with no end in sight... and I understand there is no end until the end. That sounded really...

    Is anyone a classroom teacher?

    Hello all. I'm wondering if anyone here is, or was, a classroom teacher. Have you been able to continue teaching with your FM? What has helped you succeed? Or, if not, why is that? What are you doing now?
