    Anyone else on the reddit r/Fibromyalgia?

    I'm not dissing this forum at all but sometimes when you need an answer or talk to someone right away, its a few days in between. I suggest to go check it out if you haven't already - i'm really not a bit reddit type person, but the forum on there is great, and lots of info and plenty of other...

    Fatigue so bad it's painful

    Pain Diary is a good idea. Here in the US depending on where you are, we do pay alot of taxes. As far as a govt health system - well the one they call obama care does nothing but gives you a piece of paper that says you have it. I had to be on obama care for 2 months.. and i couldn't see any...

    Strange stuff

    Hey flyingWY I totally see why your doc calls it a trash term.. there are docs that just don't believe in fibro, the docs that diagnose everyone with fibro.. and then the docs that actually believe there is something wrong - IE your doc.. I've had joint pain for years now. but in the last...

    Remarks from doctors - that hurt real bad

    :evil: Geez! So far I've been lucky - I went to a pain specialist because of the pains I was having 2 years ago and they are the ones that diagnosed me with Fibro - and they are actually one of the first that come up in a web search for Fibro stuff , at least in my area- My normal doc is very...

    Feeling Hopelessly Adrift

    I'm also a single mom, I'm a bit older (almost 38, blah) with a beautiful 4.5 year old daughter. I was diagnosed with fibro in Sept 2017 but "officially" in January 2018. I've had it for many years now and they finally gave "my mystery issue" a name. Years and years of testing, poking...

    Recently "officially" diagnosed, hard to find people to talk to.

    I replied to your post in the numbness thread - i joined here looking to talk to others with same issues. I have yet to talk to my employer about my issues, I haven't yet reached the point where i think its affecting my work, though i feel every day i get worse and worse. Have you looked into...
