    worried

    I'm worried about getting a flu shot. Many of you have talked about having large swellings at the site of the injection. I have some new (new to me) autoimmune disease that they haven't identified yet. It causes extreme swelling. My GP said he thinks it has to do with my synovial tissues...

    it's hittin' the fan again

    :roll::roll: I recently had a flare up that had my body ballooning. I was told FM doesn't present itself that way but that's beside the point. The point is the "ballooning" is pretty much over, almost nonexistent. I got that shot of steroids about a week ago and thankfully my joints have been...

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Has anyone tried hyperbaric oxygen therapy? If you haven't heard of this, you can easily find out info online, specifically the research that was done in Tel Aviv.

    Enbrel or Humira?
