    Just Diagnosed With Fibromyalgia

    Hey everyone, I'm new to this group, I was just diagnosed with Fibromyalgia yesterday. I guess I kind of got lucky that it didn't take too long to diagnose because I'd already had a ton of blood tests, scans and specialist visits for fatigue and GI problems that started a year ago (which ended...

    "Must lie down now" but can't. Ideas?

    At the same time each day at work, I get an overwhelming urge to lie down. It feels like there's no blood getting to my head, like I'm going to pass out, I start getting a horrible headache. I feel shaky and can't think a coherent thought to save my life. This feeling gets worse and worse until...

    Sleep - the most alternative and natural cure of all!

    My doctor has me doing things differently at night so I not only fall asleep, but sleep well. I'm taking a mixture of herbs and melatonin 20 minutes before bed, and it's helping tremendously. I used to take valerian root on its own to help me sleep, and it was moderately helpful. This herb...

I try to do the best I can as I volunteer at a cat shelter, but lately haven't been able to bend, scoop litters, bend to clean food and water bowls...just a bad flare...

    Helping in a small way

    I have a friend over a few hours a week (we have a weekly gaming group). I don't really form a major part of her treatment. She's been having trouble, and it flares up. I know she's a bit self-conscious about it. I don't fully understand Fibromyalgia, but I have problems of my own and I'm more...

    I'm a Mom

    I'm a mom and my kids were 2 & 4 when I got sick: Now they are 10 & 12. They do not know the "real" me. They don't remember how I was. I had to stop carrying my two year old around back then and that is hard for a baby girl. I could no longer hold her. I am sad that the mom they got is...

    Hello, Kindly People!

    Hello to all of you! You seem like such a nice community, and while I admit I've never joined a forum particular to my currently unknown condition, I must say, I feel both excited and nervous! So, here's my story, put as simply as I can manage: I am a 27 year old female with a ten year history...
