Started using my Gazzelle, it's low impact. I hit Rock bottom, I really think I got so down, I just kinda gave up, exepting, these thoughts : I am menopause I'm not as young as I use to be. look around you, there's lots of heavy women out there, your not alone! Or, well after all, I do have...

I've been on gabapentin since June, currently taking 600mg/day. It's (mostly) managing my pain (on good days I have virtually no pain), which makes me happy. But right after I started taking it, I gained almost 10 pounds, and I can't seem to break through the plateau I'm at right now to go back...

OK, so here is a little story of what I have stumbled upon, and it probably won't work for everyone, but I imagine some... Last week my neighbor wanted to borrow my folding table. I couldn't find her number to call her to tell her to pick it up, so I decided I would bring it over. Granted, the...

Hi there, The fog, the fatigue, it is a constant in my life and it is causing me a lot of problems. I feel like I haven't truly been awake in years, regardless of how much sleep I get. I drink coffee and take Vitamin B but it isn't enough. I want to start exercising but I am so incredibly...

Hello everyone - I’ve just been recently diagnosed, but have known for several years that I probably had fibro. My mom has it and was disabled because of it and she had seen symptoms developing in me. At her request, I went to see a doctor about it and he was none too happy that I was telling...
