    Pain, weight gain, too many medications

    Hi, I am a 26 year old who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 2 years ago. I have tried to stay active, but I have progressed with pain and problems very quickly. Does anyone else have a problem with weight gain? I can not seem to stop gaining weight no mater what I do. Please help!

    Fibro Flare

    I believe I've had fibromyalgia for about 5 years but it intensified about 2 years ago. I was finally diagosed about a year ago. I've tried Lyrica (which made me gain weight) and Cymbalta (which threw me over the edge emotionally). I've been treated for depression since I went in to a...

    Books most helpful for fibromyalgia?

    I love to read. I have been wondering, what books have all of you found to be most helpful for learning about and/or coping with fibromyalgia? Lately I have been thinking a lot about a book I read last year called "The Four Day Win". It is not actually about fibromyalgia; it is about loosing...

    Can't exercise!

    I know I know! The best thing to do is push past the pain and just get out there and do ANYthing low impact and active. However, I walk regularly everywhere, and I'm on my feet 6 hours a day at work, and I just can't exercise more than that? I straight up can't be more active than I am right...
