Hey Jordan, I saw your post about dealing with fibro at only 19, I just wanted to say hi and that I relate, I'm not a guy but I'm only 20 and I'm about to start working again and I really want to go back to school and I know how hard doing all the things young adults do can be. I hope you're...

Hello, I was diagnosed when I was 12 but I'm 20 now. I gave up for a while and joined this forum after starting to see doctors again. I gotta be honest, the whole process can be kind of infuriating sometimes. Some doctors straight up don't believe in fibro, other just throw meds at the wall(e.g...

I've been told a lot to just go on antidepressants and it might get better, but I've gone through periods of deep depression and recently have felt very good about how far I've come on my own to having a positive mindset. No matter how much less depressed I can get, I reach a plateau where I...

Hi, I'm 20 years old and was diagnosed with fibro when I was 12 after 3 hospitalizations, a case of gastritis, mild encephalitis, and some confusing test results lol. To be honest, I feel like it may still be a last-ditch diagnosis, or, since it is a syndrome, a diagnosis that doesn't quite...

I'm 20 years old and was diagnosed with fibro when I was 12 after a period of intense headaches and fatigue and missing a year of school. Ive had a year or so at a time since then where my symptoms haven't been as bad, but since I was about 17 it's been pretty much constant. My rheumatologist...
