Hello I have made a list of my ailments and daily problems, some of which I didn't realise I had been living with and just "getting on with it" The list has 15 things on it which all seem to feature as a symptom of FM except - I do not have chronic all over pain! Perhaps I should list my...

Hi, I am the dad of a 21 year son who is in constant pain. He used to love to work out and eat healthy. We thought he over did his workouts and caused injuries to his joints, but this just doesn't add up. He has gone to physiotherapy, rested for long periods with very light work outs, but...

Hi everyone, I figured it was time to join a forum and seek others that struggle like me. I have been dealing with issues for about 5 years. Right after my last baby. Doctors couldn't give me answers. I was overly skinny and could not gain weight. No common to complain about that one huh...

FM flair ups are fun. ....said no one ever. I imagine the single most violent end to most everyone when I have a flair up. Everything gets amplified. Every ****ing thing. I'm almost certain this is how autism must feel. Lights too bright. Need sunglasses in the drug store. Sounds. I hear...

Grab a snack this could take a while. I'm 38 years old. Male. A Medically Retired Navy Helicopter mechanic. I have had two microdiscectomy/laminectomy surgeries along with the removal of disk material from L4-L5 and L5-S1. I suffer from chronic back and leg pain and have since 1995 when I and...
