Hi Moe, You don't want to give up because then you are giving into your illness and that is easy to do. It is hard to find a GP that knows and believes in FMS but you really need to push to see a Rheumatologist. This is the doctor that will give you a proper diagnosis. Then you should be...

There should also be reviews from patients and hopefully there will be mainly good.

Nice to meet you Teddi! I live in Ontario. I just joined this month. Going to see the Rheumatologist is what you need as she/he will be able to diagnose you and give you some information (hopefully) and some help. Or at least, say, yes....you have FMS. Sounds like you are doing what I have...

Hi Willow, Sorry for getting back to you late. With not feeling good and family it has been hectic. When I used to take meds I used to get dry mouth and would have water with me all of the time to drink when working and chew gum. My tongue would get white too. When I went off meds that all...

Thanks Willow! Hugs!

So this is how i feel. I had a bad sleep and the day is not starting off good. I am very tired and very cold. I have a terrible headache. I can't think properly and can't remember and can't think about too much at once of what i have to do or it gets me upset. My whole body hurts. My hair...

XOXO to you all!

Hi Brandi, I pain is primarily on my left side. Any injuries has always been on my left side and I am also a left handed person. Needless to say, I have a lot of pain in my right arm, I have tendonitis, and my legs have been terrible the past couple of months. The fatigue and weakness has...

Your not whining Willow and most of us know how you feel. We are all there at some point. Whine anytime you want. Have a great Christmas and I hope that 2016 will be a better year for you. Do research and make changes and try all sorts of different things. It is the only way to get started...

Yes! I have had bowel problems since I was a kid and it is much worse now. I can't take meds because I severe reactions including constipation. I have always had problems either with constipation or diarrhea. Never knew which it would be. I did learn that eating certain foods would make me...
