    New Here, too.

    Hi, This seems to be a popular and comprehensive site; amazed I've never run into it, before! I am elderly with fibro, along with migraines, DDD, IBS, GERD, OA, and a million other disorders (or so it seems). Frankly, I found the registration somewhat daunting; I don't even remember when I was...

    Nearly Everyone is Magnesium Deficient

    This is from a VERY interesting important article on mag deficiency: Personally I take upwards of 1000mg Mag Citrate, Malate, Glycinate separate and often mix them them. Split up doses which gets me about 1000mg per day. If one deals with LOOSE bowels, take less or to bowel tolerance...

    Your experience with IUD Paragard?

    I take alternative hormonal therapy but it does not provide any contraception. I'm giving consideration to getting Paragard (my holistic GYN said that's the only one she would recommend) but I'm nervous about the potential side effects...like many people with Fibro, my body is super sensitive to...

Took him two tries to find a rheumatologist who even treats/sees fibro patients. I'm not sure that's what I have. In the meantime (while...

    Reaching out

    This is my 1st attempt to find a support group and forum and I'm hoping to get advice and someday give advice. I posted a thread to general discussions about fibro "lost and confused" which details my journey since I've been diagnosed in 2012. I haven't had much luck in the way of finding the...
