    New, scared and saying hello

    Hi. I am 56 and tested positive for Rheumatoid Arthritis approx a year and a half ago. However, last week, my Rheumatologist told me that he believes that I also have Fibromyalgia due to the severity of the pain I've been experiencing. The only part of me that doesn't hurt (every second of...

    Depression medication

    I am beginning to wonder if I should get medication for depression. I have been pretty seriously depressed for at least two years.....really it is four, but I could call it "Grief" for the first two years, to be accurate.

    Migraines

There's a...

    Keep a positive on on the end result

    This past weekend, it suddenly hit me. Intense/severe constant pain in my upper right abdomen. Since I am 22 weeks pregnant, I freak out not knowing if something is happening to baby. I go to the doctors on Friday and find it is just round ligament pain (Ligament - kind of like a rubber band...

    Having a bad week and it's only Monday

    Just have to vent, I feel like very few people in my life really hear me. I'm so tired. And I'm tired of being tired.

    It all makes sense now

    Hi everyone. I'm Abby. I was officially diagnosed in February of this year by a rheumatologist, but my family doctor put me on Lyrica before Christmas. I've been in pain for years, but blamed myself for it. I was (and am) overweight, and that's society's first answer to any fat person's health...
