    Should I be tested?

    I am a 36 year old male and I served two combat tours in Iraq back in 2003 and 2004.

I've also been dealing with numbness in my hands and occasionally my feet (this lead...

    Need a little support. Going tomorrow to find out what my "treatment plan" is going to be. Even though I was "officially" diagnosed with Fibro 3 weeks ago, I have lived with it since at least 2005 or before. After research, I think I have had it since I was a kid. Although I have been praying...

    New here...flare up!

    Hi all. I have been battling this beast for 12 years, but was only diagnosed a few years ago (CFS diagnosis in 02). All these years, I've had flare ups, but some just seem to be worse. My vent for today is this: My husband has severe PTSD. He is 100% disabled veteran, but sometimes I just need...
