Hello All! My name is Denise. I am a wife and a stay-at-home Mom to two very energetic boys! :-) I was diagnosed with Fibro at about age 25 (13 yrs ago). I had constant joint pain and severe fatigue and sleeplessness. I was diagnosed by a Rheumatologist and basically told to take pain meds...

Hi, i'm 50 yr old woman who has had progressive health problems for 3+ yrs. still, no diagnosed. aaah. before then, very active, athletic, no health problems. earliest symptoms: difficulty remaining standing even for a minute - needed to sit, squat down, bend over, take weight off lower legs...

Hi Joyce Wow--you have no idea how much like me you sound. They never really found the causes of the blood pressure/heart rate issues for me. Other than the strange rhythms I'd have for no apparent reason. I'm surprised the nitro (I take it, too, for angina) sends my blood pressure through...

Hi everyone. You all have big hearts and I appreciate the time and help. I wrote in a different thread, under "husband," but this is a specific question; when the doctor asks if you feel fatigue at the end of the day, how on earth can you separate exhaustion because you're not sleeping at night...
