    Fibro and smoking / vaping nicotine?

    Hello all I've had fibro for 6 years. Before that I used to smoke, switched to vaping and quit before the onset of fibro. A couple of years in I started vaping again and quit.

    Struggling to finish school, any advice?

    Cymbalta experience- did it help you? I'm starting it today...

    P.S. A fibromyalgia diagnosis has never been officially given to me, but I have done some arguably exhaustive diagnostics and medical consultation to rule out all other possible malaises like Lyme, MS, allergies, etc. Rather, 6 years ago on the onset of illness I got a 'myofascial pain...

    Been struggling, but I'm a fighter

    Hi all, I'm a 25 years old guy, been suffering from fibromyalgia for 6 years now. In those 6 years, I haven't been absolutely - on the edge of ruin - type struggling the whole time, but I've definitely had gaps of time where I was managing better, or worse, or stagnating in my progress to...
