    How to tell a toddler about fibro

    Hi, guys! My only niece is turning 4 soon and starting school. I usually see her for her birthday-- brave the city and drive down to visit with her. I was the nanny for the first 2 years of her life and even though she doesn't recognize other family members, she always recognizes me and comes...

    Hello!

    I am 39 and just recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia after a myriad of doctor's visits and blood work tests. I've been placed on a extended release NSAID pain reliever which seems to help somewhat. However, I'm still struggling with consistently getting a good night's sleep and the subsequent...

    Recently Diagnosed

    Hi. I was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (July 18th). I'm mostly just processing at the moment. I'm 21 years old, so it's a long road ahead. I'm trying to remain optimistic about treatment. But it's hard when I can barely make it through my work day. I put so much of my identity into...

    Hand spasms?

    I'm curious if anyone else experiences this. Occasionally when I'm doing work I need to concentrate on, like writing in a small space or trying to plug my headphones into my phone, my hand will do a little spasm, just once. I haven't found a trend with it, but it happens enough that it's...

    feeling like a zombie and venting

    Hey everyone. I haven't been on for awhile. I dislike my meds making feel like a zombie. I think I would rather handle the pain without meds. Its just so frustrating. :roll: I feel like a test dummy for some of these meds at times. It's like here try this, maybe this will work. The other thing...

    Driving

    How many people here are still driving? I have been told I am not to drive due to severe sleep issues and as I let my license lapse years ago (avoided sorting it out because of illness), they did not have to send anything official in to the ministry of transportation. I have seen a few posts...
