symptoms

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...

I'm still worried all these symptoms came from that period in my life where I was a vegetarian and might have suffered B12 problems. I took supplements but not the sublingual. My mother was diagnosed with severe B-12 deficiency causing psychotic episodes and weakness. I went away slowly with...

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...

Hello there, I'm Stephanie. 33. Makeup Artist/Educator from Central Florida. I've been "diagnosed" for years, but my DR has only just recently started taking my symptoms seriously. My symptoms have gotten increasingly worse since, it seems every month becomes harder than the one before. This...

Hi! I am glad I found this site! I have ms and have for 10 years. I was diagnosed with fibro this week and so I'm still trying to learn about it. I haven't been feeling well for the past year and at my yearly physical, my primary dr. Ordered bloodwork. I had some levels off and she...

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 all, Although I still have not been diagnosed with fibro (at this time doc just keeps claiming it's myfascial syndrome) I had yet another incident that makes me think that I may have fibro. Being that my doctor hasn't given me any guidance or direction on how to manage my "myofascial...
