    Working Or Not, What Type of Work?

    I'm so glad to here someone else feels this SAME way! I can work from my computer too (I mean, I don't have a job doing it, but I play games on my computer to keep myself entertained - TV hurts my ears). But, I too sometimes feel like I can't even lift my arm the little bit just to type! I...

    Treatments other than medications?

    As far as exercise goes, I know it's helped my overall pain tremendously. But I'm very seasoned about exercise and for those with fm, ONE thing is extremely important: you MUST listen to your body. Do the exercises your body feels like doing. For example, I try to go to the gym every day...and...

    memory loss: fm or antidepressants?

    I was just reading "glens" post and this prompted my question: I have a HORRIBLE memory, I can't even remember stuff about my own children when they were growing up! I also have terrible short-term memory too. Could it be the antidepressants or is it fm, or, probably both?

    About me and FM

    Hello to you over there! I'm so glad you posted that. I too have memory loss, etc. Although I've had fm (all my life) diagnosed in 2007, I'm still learning ALL the stinky symptoms. I started thinking my memory loss was due to the antidepressants I've been on, but....well, I don't know, maybe...

    Hello from ba new member

    Hello MassageGnome, Hey, I understand totally. Do you live in a big city or smaller town? Cuz, I would think you could find a good fm doctor. Psych doctors have no idea how fm affects us, in my opinion. Do you know anyone personally who has fm, cuz that always helps to talk to someone who...

    Hello!

    Hello mastiffmom, I understand what you're going through. When I was first diagnosed I didn't know anyone either and never really talked to anyone that had it. I felt....wierd and I was actually skeptical myself. But I know what you mean by "constantly trying to figure yourself out." FM is...

    Hello

    Hello, I'm new here. I have fm. I believe my mother had it as well although she was never diagnosed but she died when I was 18 of breast cancer. I can't work hardly at all. It's gotten real bad in the last year, probably because I've gained almost 80lbs. .....I think from taking...
