    New here

    I was diagnosed with Fibro last year, but my pain started a few years ago. I dealt with leg/hip pain for two years, went through a couple months of physical therapy twice, saw several doctors and had several tests done. At first it was mainly my hip and IT band, but eventually the pain spread...

    Is there anything new on the horizon?

    Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. Just venting. More than 23 years of Fibro pain, IBS, CFS and in the last year Chondromalacia in knees. I work full-time, no sick time left so I'm docked, sometimes I've been on short-term disability. I just do everything to work, but don't really live...

    Craniosacral Therapy

    My rheumatologist suggested I start seeing a reflexologist after my last appointment. I went and saw one at my normal physical therapy office. When I had my session she thought that I would benefit from craniosacral therapy instead. I am willing to try anything to help so I agreed and if it...

    Doctors uncertain - I am pretty certain - Help?

    As I said in my introductory post... I am pretty sure I have fibromyalgia, and family friends with it have all nodded and told me that it makes sense.

    Writing therapy

    One of the things I do when my symptoms are really bad is write. I write how I am feeling, mostly, but sometimes I write about good times I've had or the blessings in my life, and often I'll try to put my thoughts into songs or poems. It's very therapeutic for me, and I would recommend it as a...
