Although I've had fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome for a decade, I've finally received an official diagnosis. It was amazing how many doctors I had to go through to finally find out what was wrong.
Anyway, glad to be here.
So, for 2 years i've been dealing with multiple issues, and doctors (Only been with 2) have only scratched their heads. I've been dealing with weird sensations on my skin like someone is poking my side when sitting back in a couch or when my skin is touching a surface, but this was only the...
Hi all, I have not been diagnosed with fibromyalgia (yet) as my doctors think I'm a total hypochondriac by now. I would love to hear what you all with fibromyalgia think of my symptoms.. For the past few years I've been thinking there were several different things wrong with me but now I'm...
Hi everyone. My name is Jayelle and I'm new here. As you've guessed, I'm also new to fibro...or at least having a diagnosis.
Has anyone else had a hard time just getting a doctor to listen to you? I've been told everything from, "Well, we can't find out what's wrong so we're not going to do...

There are lots of theories out there about FMS/CFS. It's a thyroid problem, it's a digestive problem, candida, it's an autoimmune problem, etc. But not enough research is being done to get to the bottom of it. The reason for that is twofold, in my opinion.
1. Fibromialgia and chronic fatigue...
Hello,
I was diagnosed with FM in June 2013 after a long battle with trying to figure out what was wrong. I had back surgeries in 2006 and 2008. I felt much better for a while. Then the pain was increasing again and spreading around. Parts that never used to hurt started hurting. I thought I...
For the last two years of going to different doctors and feeling like I was seeing the wrong doctors, since I wasn't only diagnosed with this but I was also diagnosed with Diabetic neuropathy, which honestly I did expect being a diabetic for so long. My symptoms were much different when I first...
I have not been able to work for 10 years now, I am too unreliable and am unable to attend a full day, let alone two days in a row. I have had to fund myself as I got no govt help as my Dr doesn't believe in actually helping me get any help. Why? She is not too sure what fibromyalgia is, but...
5 years ago, I was healthy, or so I thought I was, then I had a stroke. From that point and time, everything in my life went into a downward spiral. Before all that I worked 2 jobs to keep me and my kids afloat...and then it seemed after all that I could barely get up out of the bed I was so...
