    Family and Friends that don't understand

    I have four beautiful children ages 6,8,10,12 and a wonderful husband that are all so sweet and understanding of my condition Fibro/CFS. My problem is my very large extended family and circle of friends that call or drop by almost daily to check on me as I lay on my couch. They all come with...

    Newly Diagnosed

    I finally got the diagnosis that I have FM, it has been a long time coming and to be truthful I honestly believed that it would be FM long before my doctor settled on it. I have had unexplained hip, low back and joint pain with no inflammation found for years. It has become more intense and...

    Naturopathic doctor claims to know what causes fibro

    I have an appointment to see the doctor. I understand that he is famous for helping people with fibromyalgia find nearly total relief from their symptoms, but he puts you on a strict diet and herb plan that you cannot stray from in order to stay well. Symptoms come back if you stray from his...

    Good Morning

    Good Morning, I joined as I need a place to be able to get some feedback and ideas when I'm having a bad flare up. I am married with no children and my "wife" ( We are a gay couple) is great and super understanding and helpful, but it's hard sometimes to feel like crap and look fine. I work a...

    Hello *waving energetically*

    I am Ali and I am new to this group and new to fibro. I have been suffering for years but it wasn't until one day last month when I woke up sobbing because I couldn't move and my whole body hurt that I made an appointment with my doctor. The Dr had diagnosed me last year with IBS but I was so...

    Working full time with FM

    It's so hard some days to get up in the morning, let alone work a full time job. Even though I work for a medical office, they're not very understanding when it comes to things like fibromyalgia. Is anyone on disability for something like this? My job is very sedentary, and sometimes my...

    New to the forum

    Hi there, I'm a 63 year old grandmother from Colorado who was first diagnosed with fibro fifteen years ago. The diagnostic horror tour took 5 years before that. I enjoy my grandchildren, my children, and a small circle of very understanding friends. My heart goes out to all who are members here.

    Laughter

    One of the few pleasures I have left is watching great comedy. Not the sitcoms that broadcast television networks hype with every new season, but comedy featuring irony, satire, and/or British humor. I like smart comedy, produced with writers understanding that their audience isn't stupid...

    New to this site, but not to Fibro.

    Hi everyone. I'm new here, but definitely not a newbie to Fibro. I'm 28 and was finally diagnosed a few years ago although I have been "sick" since at least 3rd grade (I remember the chronic severe pain even then). As most people with Fibro, I have several additional chronic illnesses too...
