    New and feeling a bit crazy!

    Hello! I was diagnosed last year with FM. I have had ongoing symptoms for the last 3 years. I am 48 years old, I have 2 grown daughters and a very understanding husband. Yet, I still feel a bit crazy. It's not that others don't understand my FM, it's that I don't understand it. Sometimes I...

    Sleep

    My understanding is insomnia is a common symptom of this. Personally, I had both sleep onset as well as sleep maintenance insomnia (meaning I didn't sleep at all for close to 3 years). So ... I had to research and experiment with just about every drug out there on my journy to getting better...

    Giving in to the condition?

    I was talking to a friend a week or so ago, and telling her about how I was struggling to get out of bed. She accused me of "giving in to my condition" and I will admit that I took offence to that at first. But it made me realise just how little understanding there is about it, and how I would...

    New to the Forum

    Hello everyone - I’ve just been recently diagnosed, but have known for several years that I probably had fibro. My mom has it and was disabled because of it and she had seen symptoms developing in me. At her request, I went to see a doctor about it and he was none too happy that I was telling...

    Mitochondrial Damage and Fibro

    I hope this is OK to post; I had been on salmeterol xianofoate for off-label use during a clinical trial I had participated in. Towards the end of the trial, I started coming down with myofascial pain and a litany of other health issues that worsened and evolved over the past 8 months; things...

    Hi from the Netherlands!

    Just a few minutes ago I also made a post in the section for people who recently got diagnosed, but I feel it's proper etiquette if I would take a moment to introduce myself. I'm Esther from the Netherlands and I recently turned 37. I'm married, we have one daughter and two lazy cats. My field...

    Glad to have found this group

    I came across this group during the several month wait until I can get an appointment with a rheumatologist. I have had symptoms for about ten months. I started with pain and stiffness in my knees. It felt like there was one of those air filled arm bands that kids use for swimming inside my leg...

    New member, worried about the future

    The first signs of fibromyalgia came about when I was in college. My arms would be aching after completing blue book tests, and my knees would hurt from climbing stairs all day. I figured this was normal at the time. After about a year or so, however, I found my legs throbbing, my arms...
