    What did you do after you were diagnosed?

    1sweed, I am presently trying to find a source for medical marijuana. I don't do drugs and cannot tolerate most all drugs that have been prescribed for me but I've read extensively online about the help marijuana can give.

    What did you do after you were diagnosed?

    would like to hear from someone who is on Cymbalta. My doc suggested this but it has too many side effects. I don't tolerate drugs, if there is a side effect, I will usually have it. I did online research and the side effects listed for Cymbalta covered a full page.

    Test for Fibromyalgia

    I honestly feel as if my doctor as well as others don't know how much pain I have and just how miserable I am. When I told my friend the diagnosed she said "well, isn't that just a name they give it when they don't know". Then another person said "how do you know for sure if there was no real...
