Hi I am having an incredibly hard time working/taking care of the kids/paying bills/cleaning the house....I sometimes feel like I cant' take it anymore. Two weeks ago the pain I was feeling at work left me feeling like I was going to be sick..(I grew up with values instilled in me to work...

Thanks I agree with the keeping going and good luck with your upcoming races..

I thank you all so much for your stories and input. Why I really want to try is I want to set a good example for my kids (you can do anything) and I'm feeling like I'm using fibro as an excuse(I know I may sound crazy) cause just sitting here typing I hurt. If I do it I will defiantly work up...

So I've only been diagnosed for couple of months and right at the beginning the cymaolta worked and gave me relief and hope that my chronic pain wasn't my life sentence. However latly I've been having extreme pain and ended up off work for a week. Today I go back and am having a huge anxiety...

Hi I'm new to the site and fibromyalgia. I'm not new to pain as I've been suffering (undiagnosed) for years. I was recently put on Cymbalta and felt relief however it's been a month and sadly I'm feeling my hotspots getting bad again. It's exhausting hurting all the time while trying to...

Hi I'm newly diagnosed and have had some great advice here so far. I am hoping to get some advice on diet, foods to avoid etc. I am going to start a log book so that will hopefully help too. Thanks and take care.

Thanks! I'm going to get a log book today. I am a bit overwhelmed and have had information overload. However I think keeping a day planner will be a great help. I have heard a lot about diet and certain foods that can be triggers any thoughts or advice on that? Again thanks and take care.
