    New to the forum, but not new to FM

    I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2005 and have been disabled since then. I only recently found these forums, but the timing is good. I just moved from North Carolina to Washington, so I lost what little support network I had. I'm much closer to family though, and that's a huge improvement...

I went into work yesterday & spent 2 hours moving heavy case notes (I work in a hospital Monday to Friday, none of us ever...

    It's official - starting on the right foot

    Hi all, Fairly new to the forum (been poking around since I realised I probably had fibro). I saw the rheumatologist yesterday and it's more or less official: I have Fibro. He checked for tender points (didn't get a count, but I have a bunch) and the symtoms questionnaire all came up positive...

    I've been trying, but adjusting seems endless...

    I've been absent from the forum for a while, just got into a depression because of multiple things going on and kind of closed off as much as I could to the outside world. My doctor started me on Effexor in February for depression and to block some of the nerve pain I have. She increased my dose...

    My life is being stolen

    You know, I thought it was hard enough finding out that I had Rheumatoid Arthritis a year and a half ago. It was hard to wrap my head around all the pills that I needed to take just to slow the disease and manage the pain. It was hard to give myself weekly injections. It is hard to continue to...
