Being recently diagnosed, I'm trying so hard to live my life like a normal person my age would. But it's exhausting. I just want to be better. And pretending to be better just sucks. It's like you create this facade of yourself and you're freaking superwoman and you honestly start to believe...

Hi,, I'm Kitty Firstly I'll apologise in advance - I am not very computer savvy, I have no clue if I'm posting this correctly or not! Yesterday the Rheumatologist said I had CFS and developing fibromyalgia. When I saw him 6 months ago I had a couple of the Fibro pressure points, yesterday I had...

Another big disappointment this past week. I had called my attorney in regards to a question I had. He answered that question and asked me if I had any more questions. I asked him if he had any idea on when I would get my hearing before an ALJ. When we first met last April (2015) he said it...

My doctor suggested a couple of years ago I might have FM, but I really didn't think so, but I was wrong. I believe after reading about this horrible condition I have had symptoms for about 8 years. Over the last three years I've been dealing with an infection filled abscess which tunnel and...

so i had a doctor say that she didn't believe in fibromyalgia before and it was clear to me what to do - not to ever see her again. but i never had a friend say that. and it was only after i point blank asked her about it because i had a nagging feeling she didn't like talking about my illness...
