    Alone with Fibromyalgia

    Hi Marie, I'm sorry to hear that your fear came back. I hope you feel better soon. <3 I think it's great that you've got a plan and you work so determined and with diligence towards your goal.

    Undiagnosed with Variety of Symptoms

    Hi, Have you seen a rheumatologist? I recommend seeing a rheumatologist, if you haven’t seen one already. You’ve had a wide range of tests and scans, which is wonderful, but a rheumatologist could possibly find out what’s causing some / most of your symptoms. I also suffer from regular, sharp...

    24 y/o male with fibromyalgia-related symptoms.

    It’s good that you’ve seen an optometrist. However, ophthalmologists usually have deeper knowledge and a broader range of skills and techniques than optometrists, so that’s why I recommended seeing an ophthalmologist. You mentioned many symptoms that are common among people with fibromyalgia...

    Hi! Have you visited an ophthalmologist? If not, I can recommend you to let an ophthalmologist examine your eyes in order to exclude any eye diseases and conditions.

    Alone with Fibromyalgia

    Hello, Marie! :) I think that brain fog causes mainly difficulties with the short-term memory (called also the working memory) and concentration. On the other hand, brain fog can also prevent you from remembering things or from maintaining a bright mind when you’re in a stressful situation (for...
