I'm 65 with super skin contact sensitivity on my legs. It started last summer. Felt like my legs were burning even with a sheet over them. Wearing shorts helped a great deal, but now that's it's winter I still want to wear loose, summer pants. The feeling is a cross between itchy/dry and prickly...
I am struggling lately. After spending 5 months on disability leave due to a failed hand surgery I went back to work at the end of September. I was very happy, making good money and finally felt like I had a purpose. The job was very stressful and I wasnt happy but I did my best because I...

This post will be about my story of years of researching, seeing dozens of...

I just wanted to say hi to everyone and introduce myself :smile: I am newly diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Interstitial Cystitis in October after an earlier diagnosis of an auto disease diagnosis of uveitis in July of this year. I won't lie, it's been a rough few months and I am really working...
As many of you know from my former posts I am dealing with high cholesterol and finding I can not tolerate the extra joint and muscle pain brought on by the different statin medications. Each one I use lasts a good 5-6 days and then the pain is unbearable and I end up quitting the drug.

Feeling a little annoyed tonight. I applied for SSD in May of this year. I have filled out all of the forms, answered all of the questions they asked of me, went to all of the doctors they wanted me to and still I have heard nothing. My sister in law applied towards the end of July and she...
Hello! I'm new to the forum and as much as I love Americans and every one out there, wanted to start a thread for Canadians, as I live in a fairly remote area in Ontario and am hoping to reach out to my fellow countrymen (or in this case I'm sure mostly women!) I've recently been diagnosed with...
Hello. I feel a little strange writing this post, as I know I’m not the only one who reads forums about fibro. Still, I really need your help. This post is long, and very personal. My questions are at the end.
My girlfriend of three years was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia/chronic...

Hi. I'm new here, wanted to just go to a place where I can relate and possibly learn of any new and helpful coping strategies. I am currently taking one wellbutrin in the morning as well as celebrex, and then 2 paxil at night along with flexeril if needed, and / or Tylenol 3s as needed.

Hi everyone!
My name is Cari. I am new to the group and the world of fibromyalgia. Yesterday I went to the rhumatologist for the first time and was told I have fibromyalgia. My jaw literally dropped. It was not on the list of things I thought I might have. I must admit I'm in a bit of...
