    Stress and Fibromyalgia

    Is it true that stress and trauma can make FM flare ups worse or even cause them? I have PTSD from a trauma that occurred several years ago, and it seems like whenever something triggers it or I get really stressed out trying not to think about it I get sent into a really bad flare up.

    Bad Experiences Iin Childhood Lead To Adult Illness?

    I think many of us have suspected this for quite a while.

    Going to a Rheumotologist for the first time

    I am almost 99.99% sure that what I have has to be Fibromyalgia. I have a long history with anxiety. My father passed away in 2008 from lung/stomach cancer that was very quick less than 6 months from diagnosis and my mom passed in 2009 from early onset alzheimers. Both were 60/58 years young...
