    Pain is getting worse, don't know what to do!

    I was diagnosed about 4 years ago with fibromyalgia. The pain has always been mild for the most part, occasionally moderate. My pain is a deep ache all over my body. Feels like my bones hurt. The last couple months the pain has been getting worse. I've also started having pretty severe pain in...

    Going in (expensive!) circles

    My rheumatologist wants bilateral, 3-view X-rays of my hands/wrists, feet, and ankles... to the tune of $700 estimated price. Neither the doctor's office nor my insurance seems able to tell me what the contracted rate that I'll actually pay. I've been on the phone since 8:30 this morning and...

    Almost Diagnosed

    So I've had doctors say "Well, it could be Fibromyalgia. Here, you should try this Metanx stuff." It's basically a B-vitamin food supplement that costs an arm and a leg and is marketed for diabetic neuropathy, not fibromyalgia. Another doctor did some blood tests and said "You have non-specific...

    I feel like nothing works...

    I am in such severe pain constantly. Pain medication does not work unless it is strong and I will not take that because I do not want to be out of it. Those kind of medications are just not an option in my book. I currently take topiramate but feel it really does not work. I would really...

    Fibromyalgia?

    Hi everyone I recently had a nasty viral illness and found myself stuck in bed with a very sore chest/back and a high fever. That seemed to pass within a day or two, but shortly afterwards I had the onset of some very strange other symptoms. First I found that I had trouble grapping things with...

    NO diagnosis...worsening conditions.

    Feeling Amazingly Better

    I've had fibro for better than 2 years. It has taken a LOT out of me. I have been battling it unsuccessfully, until this past week when I had a breakthrough I'm interesting in sharing. It has been noticeable to me from the start how stiff, rigid I am. I have knots or balls at the commencment and...

    Looking for fibro answers

    My symptoms started December '08, when I awoke to having my arm going completely numb, blurred vision, and a drunk-like feeling while speaking. It went away in a matter of minutes. I went to the hospital to make sure that I didn't have a stroke. Then over the course of the next 5 months, my...
