diagnosis

Hi all. I'm going to be honest from the get-go: I generally don't like this kind of thing. I'm not ashamed and I'm not a super private person (well to some extent, mostly because I find explaining fibro only illicits pity). But I'm at a loss and I want to get this off of my chest. I'm 32, male...

Hello All, I have been seeing doctors for pain and parasthesia for over three years now with no diagnosis. Actually, that's not fair, because for 12-13 months while I was pregnant with my youngest and right after, I did not have symptoms and was not being seen for that purpose. I presented to...

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a diagnosis from a doctor? The reason I ask is because I've seen two rheumatologists. Neither one gave me a diagnosis, even though it is pretty obvious to anyone who observes me that I DO have fibromyalgia. I've read that many doctors are very...

Hi...I am new to all of this, having only had a confirmed diagnosis of Fibromyalgia a few weeks ago. I don't know anyone else with the condition, and I feel a little bit insecure about it all. I also suffer from bi polar disorder...I am worried that people will feel that my pain, burning skin...

I am 39 and just recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia after a myriad of doctor's visits and blood work tests. I've been placed on a extended release NSAID pain reliever which seems to help somewhat. However, I'm still struggling with consistently getting a good night's sleep and the subsequent...

Hi So i had a fall at the start of january this year, and begin to get symptoms within the first month. By April i had a tentative diagnosis of fibromyalgia. My doctors horrible, and just keeps upping my meds. I feel irrational and angry most of the time. It seems like no one is listening to...

The title seems a little silly but I didn't know what to write... haha Hi! I'm 28 years old and was just diagnosed with fibro by my rheumatologist on Monday. The pain has been around for a long time but recently got much more noticeable a few months ago. (As a possible point of reference as...

Hello everyone! I was diagnosed last week with fibromyalgia. I am 56 years old and have been looking for answers for 12 years, however, I'm still not sure if this is what I really have. Kinda felt like the rheumatologist didn't know what to do with me. I'm trying to learn about fibro and see if...

Yesterday my rheumatologist diagnosed me with fibromyalgia, but I am not sure if this is the correct diagnosis. For the last 12 years my main symptoms have been burning pains in my hands and feet, that can sometimes involve most of my body, that usually start at night, and end when I get up in...

Hi all :-) I have only just been diagnosed (2 weeks ago) with fibromyalgia, and to be honest I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around and accepting it. For the last few years I've had ongoing hip and leg pain following a car accident and numerous tests have shown no answers, leading to...
