    Do I really have this?

    Hello I am a 28 year old male and just a couple weeks ago I was diagnosed with Fibromayalgia by a Rhuematologist at UCLA. To summarize my situation: I hurt my shoulder at the gym 8 years ago. Nothing helped (Conservative treatment, Physical Therapy, Cortisone, Surgery). As time went on I went...

    Free Floating Anxiety or Iatrogenic PTSD?

    Most of us have spent years in an ongoing battle. At first, family, friends and doctors do not take our complaints seriously. Then doctors try running all sorts of tests, many of them making very little sense at all, only to send us to physical therapy where we are supposed to plunk down 1/2...

    Anger

    I finally found a great pain specialist after dealing with Kaiser primary care physicians. The pain specialist deals with his own chronic pain, so he can identify with his patients. My PCP's (primary care physicians) at Kaiser didn't really care about my situation. They were disrespectful. When...

    myfascial or spray techniques

    Has anyone ever tried the myofascial release therapy? Or the spray and stretch therapy? I have no doubt that this can relieve and lessen stress. And the great thing about the spray and stretch technique is anyone can learn to do this to help someone. It is very basic therapy that is a step up...

    Massage for Temporary Relief?

    One of my friends with Fibro gets a few days of relief when she has a professional massage done. I don't know if it's the kind that is "deep muscle massage" or just regular but it really does seem to make a difference at least in her case. Does this work for anyone else? Is it an accepted...

    Light Therapy Treatment for Fibro

    I did not use this, as I was unaware of light as a treatment. However, having reptiles, I decided to place a reptile lightbulb in my lamp. I might be imagining it, but the use of a reptile light bulb actually makes me feel more energetic. The use of a regular light bulb, while I work on the...

    Type of pain?

    I'm self-employed and after 30 years of problems, now that I am on Medicare and don't have to worry about pre-existing conditions, I am going to doctors to finally try to find what is wrong with me. After being to a rheumatologist, endocrinologist and they pretty much say probably fibromyalgia...
