    Where is the weirdest place you hurt? What are your strangest symptoms?

    Thank you. Geez, I want to cry just seeing someone say that. So many times I feel like trying to explain things to the doc or other people, the way they look at me, I feel like I am speaking another language, or the white coats will be coming in to take me away. But it's real, and it's how it...

    Help with bras...

    I have recently had to finally say goodbye forever to my bras. I have one muscle in my back on my right side that doesn't like them. At first, it was just occasional pain, then it turned into any time I wore them. The pain was bad, but whats worse was that it would tighten and spasm with each...

    Blood pressure cuff pain

    Especially with my new BP issues this hits hard! Yes, you are not alone! Every single time I get my BP taken I know I am going to have to deal with hours/days of numbness. Anyone who berates you for the pain can bugger off!!!! That thing HURTS!

    Where is the weirdest place you hurt? What are your strangest symptoms?

    LOL!! ok Jay...help me out on this one maybe? for the record, I don't like getting into what each issues I consider part of my "fibro" because the list is too long, and it gets overwhelming to me, but I do see your point is figuring out what it actually is to help with alleviating it. I've...

    Hi, I'm new here and the last month has been a real struggle!

    I know I am just going to echo what you've been told already, but really, it cannot be said enough. Pay attention to your body, it's the greatest benefit to dealing with fibro you will find. Since it is so highly personalized, your reactions, observations, they will be the best guide, not a...

    Does this sound like fibromyalgia ?

    I'll be thinking of you and hoping for some good news for you. True, ruling things out can be as beneficial as not, and at least you get more direction. That at least makes us feel like we are getting somewhere, the unknown is a scary thing. I feel lucky that we are less restrictive, even if...

    Does this sound like fibromyalgia ?

    Hi Linda, and hubby, welcome. I wanted to chime in, I originally had a doc that constantly told me.."it's just a virus" after 3 months of not being able to wake up and having all my tests come back clear, I got him to refer me to a diagnostician. Literally, all they do is find a diagnosis for...

    Where is the weirdest place you hurt? What are your strangest symptoms?

    Does it matter what it is called?? lol I mean, it's just another facet of dealing with fibro for me, so what it is called isn't something I think about. It's just another, yep, that's part of my fibro... however, yes, if you prefer technical, I think it would fall there. edit...maybe not...

    ME/CFS sufferer recently diagnosed with Fibro - new to forum, wanted to say hello

    Hi Sleepy, welcome. I didn't find it confrontational, sadly, just typical of what we deal with on the regular. Fibro is highly personalized, NO ONE can say otherwise, and that is something that we each have to truly grasp and accept. It is not easy to do that. It would be SO wonderful to say...

    Frustrated, searching, angry

    Back again, needing to scream, looking for help. To update first, I was brave, I stood up for myself. I want to say that because I think we all get stuck under the "I don't want to complain" "I don't want to burden others", etc umbrella. We all know that no one likes to hear over and over...

    Frustrated, searching, angry

    Heya. :) Rant here, new to the site. I have been diagnosed with fibro since the early 2000's. I also have epilepsy and diabetes. The complications between them suck, but not why I came here today, at least. :) Currently I am in Physical Therapy. My bicep has been have so many spasms and...

    Bugs under skin

    Heya Fighter. Yes, I know that feeling. I have found myself at times swatting at nothing, and other times, I have ignored it, thinking it's my body only to find a critter on me :D I think they are just micro twitches in the muscles, at least that what it seems like to me.
