    Hello there!

    Hi everyone. My name is Lorraine Marie. I'm 22 and from PR. I was diagnosed when I was a teen. At first my doctor suspected arthritis.

    I was diagnosed 8 years ago and am almost where I was then even tho many Drs and way to many NSAIDs trying to control pain. I am an asthmatic, not controlled and this complicates treatment.

    Skin issues

    Does anyone else have skin issues with their fibromyalgia? I guess I should be more specific. I have to take like 3 showers a day. I start to feel really dirty right away. I am not sure why. It's happened more and more as I got older. I thought it was because of my weight because I am bigger and...
