Hi, It feels so depressing when u cant do fun things, I really feel for you as I sometimes have that problem, what I find helpful is to rest the whole previous day just do little things that need to be done before activity which I know having 2 kids is not easy to do but wanting to do the...

Hi, and welcome. family is sometimes the hardest people around a person who has fm to understand what the person is going through, it will take a while for you to totally understand the condition so family members may take longer. I would just like to say keep communicating with you family...

I didn't mean anyone on here wouldn't care, I meant to say people who know me, who don't understand fibro wouldn't like other family members and some of my so called friends, I am really sorry if I offended anyone on this site I certainly didn't mean to.

Hi all, In the last 6 years since I was diagnosed everything changed as I know that happens to all of us, now things have changed for me again. I have always used my crutches when I go out walking as my bursitis in my knees and hips are always flaring up but now I am house bound with a frozen...

Hi, I am single but I don't live alone (2 kids special needs boy age 21 more like a 6 yr old and 10 yr old girl) I do sometimes feel like Im on my own though so I can relate to how your feeling, I really hope you get support and help you need from people on this site so you know your not alone.

My vision went strange about 3 years ago, I got it checked by my gp told to get my eyes checked which I did and I wear my glasses all the time now. My gp said fibro can affect vision but I would still get it checked out just to put your mind at rest.

pace yourself - that's what people tell me but that's easier said then done. I found taking gabapentin and tramadol myself was to much medication for me, I use to feel like I was drugged up all the time and found it hard to function, I stopped taking all meds for couple weeks, felt sane again...

Not sure I would call myself type A as I had knee bursitis from the age 14 I could never find a job in my late teenage years I could stick at as I couldn't (and still cant) stand or walk for long periods of time. I think i,m more type A now in my early 40's as I try and do things I know I...

thankyou all for the welcome messages, I will do my best to offer any help and advice, its nice to know people are not alone coping with these health issues.

I was diagnosed with bursitis in both knees when I was 14 I played a lot of football (tennis and hockey) both sacs of fluid split and I had them both removed when I was 20 then I had my special needs son at 22, that added more stress, told the sacs had burst in both hips 10 years later since...

I am still learning how to use this kind of website, I have only just started to use fb, please let me know if im not doing it right. ;-) Just wanted to ask if anyone who has fm also has or have had problems with bursitis? I have bursitis in both my hips and knees and have had it since I was 16...

HI Sagey, I,ve never been on anything like this before as I,m not great with computers, really looking forward to chatting with others to offer any help to people coping with the everyday problems fm and cfs brings with our every day lives.

Hi, I think you have a great idea there, just wanted to ask if u would consider making the age limit up i,m 42 and have had fm for 6 years now I would really like to join people on sites as I,ve never been on anything like this before.
