Hello all, first post here! I'm a 19-year-old literature student and I just started studying to get my bachelor's degree. I currently have 4 classes a week, so 12 hours, and I intend on reducing to only 3 classes and 9 hours, but I'm still having a hard time combine fibromyalgia and studying...

Hi. I'm Rochelle. Just joined this forum as in the middle of a particularly bad flare up and feel the need to reach out to others like me. I have been diagnosed for 12 years now and really hate this crippling condition that has taken so much of my life already. I have had to change jobs because...

I am new to this forum. I have been dealing with symptoms of fibromyalgia for several years but the past year has been horrible. Two years ago I was active and working. I could clean, take daily showers, plant a garden, walk. I've had back issues for years and was always able to manage...

My new acupuncturist placed me on a strictly raw veggie diet (sans nightshades) for the past week. That's right, salads only, no fruit, no grains, no nuts, no cooking, just RAW VEGGIES. I used to be a serious carnivore and a terrible eater of processed foods and sugars. I've been working on a...
