diagnosis

I've had problems for years with joint pains mainly but loads of other symptoms that have brought me to a possible diagnosis of Fibro. I'm getting so frustrated with living in limbo land, I just wish I knew what was wrong with me. I've had so many tests and still no diagnosis. I saw physio...

Hi there! I was diagnosed about a month ago although it was suggested to me years ago but I wasn't ready to accept the diagnosis. I'm struggling with the stigma. I feel that anyone I tell rolls their eyes and thinks, "Here's another thing you're going to complain about." I have treatment...

Hi I've only just joined the group & really need a good kick up the backside to snap me out of this low mood! I've not been formally diagnosed with fibro yet, after going over my symptoms & finding so many tender points my rheumatologist said it was a possibility. I also have hypermobility...

Hi My name is Lou, I'm 38 from Scotland and currently going through the long process of waiting for a diagnosis. I'm getting really frustrated being in constant pain and not knowing why and am hoping to gain some understanding and support on here. Thanks Lou

Hi, everyone - How are you? I am in MS and I was diagnosed the day of the presidential elections. Sigh. I am really struggling right now; I'm hoping to get support here, as I did when I got my Celiac disease diagnosis 11 years ago and joined a forum that was a lifesaver, in terms of accepting...

Apparently this is where I post first, to say hello. Sorry for the long post. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few weeks ago, but have no doubt that I have had it for years, as I have had chronic pain and other symptoms for a long time. The GP was finally willing to send me to some...

So today I had to go in person to get my prescriptions from my doctor an hour away. So after I had the medical assistant call me to let me know they were written so I could come get them, I get there and I have to have ID? She didn't think to tell me that when I had her call? Apparently it's a...

I have chronic pain in most of my joints (but very severe in my neck & lower back) and in the soft tissues or muscles near my joints (both forearms & shoulders, both calves & achilles heals). My first symptom, almost 2 years ago when I was 57, was mainly fatigue. I couldn't understand why I...

Hello, I'm 15 and after a lot of arguments with doctors and hospitals I finally got a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. I'm having a real problem walking distances such as shopping due to the severe pain in my legs. My doctor suggested that I might need a wheelchair to help me have that bit of...

Hi everyone, First day on the fibro forum, still not officially diagnosed after 2+ years of countless tests (you all know the drill). Even after being non-responsive to conventional chronic pain treatments and pain relievers, eliminating all other disorders, having all the symptoms and meeting...
