I'm curious how many of you have participated in a yoga class. Have you found it helpful?
As a yoga instructor and someone who's been diagnosed with fibro for 20 years, I first started doing yoga about 15 years ago. At first, it hurt a lot. I was stretching a lot of different muscles that...
Diagnosis confirmed in August. Feel fortunate that I have a good team of docs helping me navigate this new life stage as it seems many of you do not. Primary care doc, rheumatologist, psychiatrist, therapist and CBT--all on the same page with me. Currently taking Cymbalta as I also have...
I went to this lady who is also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia but is not living in the pain and all the other crappy symptoms that come along with it. She works now with people like me and I walked in completely thinking another crack head who does nothing looking for money.
First I sat down and...
Hi, Newbie here. But not new to FM - have had it about 30 years. Change of seasons, weather, having a cold - any change brings about a flare. Am now 76 and have been able to cope all these years using meditation, visualization, writing, pushing myself (when possible). However, this month my...
Hi, this is my first post here and I found the group by googling "tingling in face." i have had tingling in my arms, legs and face for about 6 years. It just suddenly started and didn't go away. It's gotten progressively worse but I do yoga, tai chi and other forms of exercise and I also eat an...

I was diagnosed about 20 years ago with fibromyalgia and it's pretty wild to type that and see it in print. It's a diagnosis that I don't share with too many people, as they...
Hello All.
So glad I found this forum.
Just diagnosed with Fibro last week after what seems like progressively worse symptoms that now consist of mild to severe joint and muscle pain, achiness, headaches, brain fog and memory problems and over all feeling crappy like I have the flu.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for pain management while pregnant with FM? I am only 7 weeks pregnant, but I also have a 6 month old son. I went off meds when we tried getting pregnant with him, and I have been off everything since, which will be a couple years now...

Hi! I too new to this support group. So, here is my story. I was finally diagnosed this week after a year of seeing just about every specialist there is. For a long time I blamed tension and anxiety for my tense muscles and pain throughout my body. I also have Irritable Bowel Syndrome brought...
