    Is anyone a classroom teacher?

    Yikes, no one? I'm admittedly quite concerned I will never be able to go back to the classroom. Fibro does not fit with the rigid schedule of teaching and its physical, emotional, and mental demands. It's not like I can have flexible work hours or take a nap in the middle of the day, or...

    40yro SoCal teacher saying hello

    A lot of the symptoms are, I believe, overlapping of my thyroid condition. The palpitations actually were one of my earlier symptoms--that and the near-fainting came out of nowhere in May. I truly have not been worrying that much until the last few weeks just because I'm not getting better. A...

    Negative to the pressure point test, but 4 doctors still suspect I have fibro

    To be fair, I'm not sure the hair loss has continued. I never lost it in clumps--I just looked at my bangs one day and was horrified how much of my scalp I could see. My rheumatologist ran a huge series of tests a few weeks ago (including ANA and RSR, both negative), as did my GP back in May...

    Negative to the pressure point test, but 4 doctors still suspect I have fibro

    Hello all. I'm a 40yro woman and was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease Hashimoto's thyroiditis back in August. However, now that my thyroid hormone numbers have been brought to normal levels, I'm still suffering from a progressively worsening collection of symptoms. I joke that it's like...
