    Barely Hanging in There

    Hi, I'm new to this forum and I'm not used to sharing details of my fibro with others outside of my family. I am at my breaking point physically and mentally after living with this hellish disease since 1998. In the past, I would have flare-ups especially when temperatures go down, after...

    Alkaline Diet

    I wanted to share my opinion about Alkaline Diet but unfortunately all the threads with alkaline diet are closed for no more discussion. Which natural product is effective as an alkaline diet so far? I could not find this help there on the forum.

    Symptom Relief with Diet?

    I just heard from my friend that she has fibromyalgia but doesn't take medications to relieve her symptoms. Instead, she changed her diet and her symptoms have improved. She doesn't eat gluten, corn or dairy. I think she does this also because she has celiac, but it also helped with her...

    Finding something that works for me and wanted to share.

    I have been a lurker on Fibromyalgia forums for years but I am a pretty private person so I never joined the forums and online support groups because I didn't want people to feel sorry for me. I have finally had some success in treating my health issues and decided it was time to share. a...

    Fibromyalgia for 26 years?

    Advice for insomnia / staying asleep?

    Besides the pain, actually being able to go or stay asleep has been a HUGE issue for me. At first I stayed up until the early mornings (I'm talking 6 or 7) And then it changed to being able to fall asleep but only getting 5 hours. I recently got prescribed ambien and it seems to help. I try not...

    Interstitial cystitis

    Any one else have this? Any tips for medications that help the terrible pain I get? I know all about the IC diet reducing oxolates and acidic foods and drinking bicarbonate of soda...none of these are effective for me. The burning throbbing pain from the waist down, inside and out is the worst...

    Gabapentin and weight issues

    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...
