I've been having extreme pain around my spine. From mid-back up to the top of my shoulder blades. At times its like having a binder clip squeezing my spine. I've tried heat, cold and light massage. I have even tried mild stretches. If I move the wrong way suddenly it takes my breath away. I...

Hey everyone. I haven't been on for awhile. I dislike my meds making feel like a zombie. I think I would rather handle the pain without meds. Its just so frustrating. :roll: I feel like a test dummy for some of these meds at times. It's like here try this, maybe this will work. The other thing...

I've been having a bad few weeks lately. It seems that I'm stuck in a rut. It seems as though my life is governed by when I take my meds. The pain has been constant and it's been bringing me down a lot as well. I'm still having issues with gastritis and costocondritis has been rearing its ugly...

I've had some bad days recently, including today. Hard to get to sleep, hard to stay asleep, and the constant pain when I wake up. I have such intense pain in my neck and shoulders that I have to be careful how I move my head. Does anybody else have that issue? I've been taking it one day at a...

I'm glad to have found this place. I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia 6/5/2015. I am new to all of this. The only person I have been able to talk to has been my husband. Before I was DX with fibro I had a feeling that's what it was. I even had one Dr. tell me it was all symptomatic (NOT). I...
