symptoms

I just watched a video that was recommended by someone in the forum. It was of someone w/ fibro who appeared to suffer a great deal, but near the end it showed that she was going to the gym! I totally understand the benefits. I have been fortunate enough to experience those benefits before all...

Is this even considered alternative medicine these days? Anyone here have a 'script (or not) and use it to help w/ the symptoms related to fibro? I have never been one to smoke it recreationally (or otherwise), but I am not naïve to the relief it can bring for others. Anyone care to shed...

Hello, I've been sick for a very long time and it took years for them to diagnose anything. So I got fibromyalgia as a diagnosis and from reading your stories it seems accurate. Also I think my pain is alot higher than average. It will be good to know some people who share my symptoms and...

I was recently diagnosed with FM back in March. This has been about a 3 year process and I'm still not convinced. Three years ago I started having some pain and discomfort in the front and back of neck. Soon after I started having back spasms and they would cause me to be on the couch for a day...

Though I've been having increasing pain (and other symptoms) over the last couple of years, I was only diagnosed with fibromyalgia last week. My rheumatologist also thinks I have Sjorgren's syndrome or some other autoimmune condition (maybe lupus). I just had blood work done today. On one hand...

For the past several years, my Fibromyalgia has been somewhat stable, with everyday symptoms that I've learned to cope with, and about 2 flares per year. Once I fall into a pattern, I find it easier to manage life, my pain, and my other symptoms, because although the symptoms are miserable, they...
