    Exersize

    Started using my Gazzelle, it's low impact. I hit Rock bottom, I really think I got so down, I just kinda gave up, exepting, these thoughts : I am menopause I'm not as young as I use to be. look around you, there's lots of heavy women out there, your not alone! Or, well after all, I do have...

    Gabapentin and weight issues

    I've been on gabapentin since June, currently taking 600mg/day. It's (mostly) managing my pain (on good days I have virtually no pain), which makes me happy. But right after I started taking it, I gained almost 10 pounds, and I can't seem to break through the plateau I'm at right now to go back...

    Muscle Pain/Casein

    OK, so here is a little story of what I have stumbled upon, and it probably won't work for everyone, but I imagine some... Last week my neighbor wanted to borrow my folding table. I couldn't find her number to call her to tell her to pick it up, so I decided I would bring it over. Granted, the...

    New Doctor

    Well I'm off to see a new doctor today. He is an orthopedic surgeon. The surgeon who did my shoulder replacement moved to New York. I have been having the most unbearable pain in both my arms and shoulders so I wonder if the pain is related to the surgery or not. I was in physical therapy...

    Shoulder Pain Fibromyalgia

    Hi, I have terrible pain from my shoulder down to my shoulder blades, while walking around. It's like a great weight on my shoulders. It also doesn't help that I have anxiety. Does anybody else experience this? And how do you cope? Thanks!

    Is there a way to actually wake up?

    Hi there, The fog, the fatigue, it is a constant in my life and it is causing me a lot of problems. I feel like I haven't truly been awake in years, regardless of how much sleep I get. I drink coffee and take Vitamin B but it isn't enough. I want to start exercising but I am so incredibly...

    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...
