    Looking for understanding

    Hi, I decided to join this forum to find like minded people to vent with occasionally and possibly explore ideas of how to cope with this insidious illness. I call this an insidious illness because most people (even professionals) don't even recognize it as an illness. Officially it's only a...

    Hello

    Well, here it is three days before Christmas, and I am desperate for a little human understanding - I have my Schnauzers and Chihuahua to provide creature comfort, it does help, but it isn't the same. I swore I wouldn't do this until after Christmas, because it just doesn't seem to be in the...

    Every case of fibro/CFS is different. In my case, I was diagnosed at the age of 18 following previous diagnoses of Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety Disorder, ADD, and Asthma.
