So after a few failed attempts to see different Rheumatologists I finally found one willing to see me. He took the time to really listen to everything I had going on and all of the appointments I've already had. He asked a ton of questions and actually listened to the answers. I was in his...
Hi,
I have had Fibro for over 18 years. I have tried many conventional treatments such as NSAIDS, most common prescription pain relievers including Lyrica and I get some relief using Tramadol and anti-depressants like Celexa. I had to stop the NSAID because I developed acute Kidney failure from...
Hi everyone. My name is Jayelle and I'm new here. As you've guessed, I'm also new to fibro...or at least having a diagnosis.

I have a question.... I have been insanely tired for the last 1-2 years. I get 7+ hours nightly and I can sleep 12+ hours and still be tired. I have absolutely no desire to do anything other than be curled up on a chair with a book or my iPad. I have pain throughout my body, neck/shoulders...
Like others before me, I am grateful for a place to discover more about my recently diagnosed fibromyalgia. All of you understand - to some degree - how I am feeling.
