    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...

    Do YOU know what brought on FMS?

    I do, an emotional trauma in July 1999. IF, I do indeed deal with this syndrome, that is when it came on. The fight/flight/fright happening. I was attempting to get thyroid "fixed" for 10 yrs prior and I feel thyroid was WEAK and the trauma brought this on. I will add more later to...

    25-year-old female with fibro

    Hello everyone, I just found this forum while searching the internet for support. I am a 25-year-old female who has been struggling with physical issues for around 5 years. I desperately want support and answers. I feel like people think because I am young and "look healthy" that there is no...

    Need Support - Invalidating Doctor.

    First of all, sorry for the length of this. So I had an appointment for my fibromyalgia. I've been told I have it but was getting some more tests ran. I've never seen this doctor before. She was nice at first (and remained 'nice' throughout the appointment). I say 'nice' because some of the...

    Abuse: A Proposed Cause of FMS?

    I have been reading countless material that points towards abuse (which I have endured from infancy until 21 - sexual abuse/multiple r*pes, severe psychological/verbal/emotional abuse, and severe physical abuse) as a cause of FMS. I think I can vouch for that. I have many other disorders as a...

    Female, 30s, onset in 2007, EXHAUSTED

    Hi, nice to meet you... I'm Exhausted. First Contact Back in 2007 I was working an emotionally taxing counseling job, that I loved, but for a shy and introverted, sensitive person it was probably too much. I must have gotten burned out and it was at this time that I first noticed feeling "not...

    Fibromyalgia & PTSD

    Hello! I have read in a few articles where fibromyalgia can be associated with post traumatic stress. I know of an event that may have triggered my fibro and was wondering if anyone else had as well. Looking forward to your input. Hope you are all having a good day! :)

    No Diagnosis,5 years of pain, so depressed

    I am new here. I am sure at some point I will be given the Fibromyalgia diagnosis. I started becoming sick at age 30 when my daughter was around 4. I was a single parent from the beginning and life was great. I had a high paying job, we needed for nothing. She is my life. It kills me now that we...

    67 and still researching for fibro help

    Hi all, Not sure when I did first come down with it, but think it was in my early 20's. (I am now 67 years young) Remember a time when I would have waves of pain go thru my body and lasted for couple of months. Wondering if I had some weird virus that caused the fibro. After that I started...
