    Still wanting to upgrade to remove ads

    Sorry you are having problems! I am not in charge of the technical aspects of the forum, so unfortunately I am unable to assist you with this. Maybe if you send a PM to Dooi, they can help.

    Please remember to be compassionate and kind

    Just so you know, Sweet, there was no blocking of your posts. One of your posts got sent into the moderation queue, or at least only one that I know of. As it happened, I was having computer problems and did not see that it was in the queue for a few days; when I saw it I approved it. I don't...

    Dating!

    Yes, you can do that if you have posted enough times on the forum to be given that access. Just hover your cursor over the person's name, to the left of a post they have made. You will see a box appear, and in it at the bottom will be the option to "start conversation". Click on that, and it...

    Leg pain

    Greetings, and welcome to the forum. Has your doctor seen these swollen calves? If not, I strongly recommend that you get in to see that person and show them this issue and ask them what is going on. This is not a common symptom for fibromyalgia.

    Emotional effect

    Willowtree, you are correct that this is not going to just go away. But, it can get better, and you can become more skilled in dealing with it and working with your body to ameliorate the pain and other symptoms somewhat. I think of it like a person learning how to deal with having only one...

    How do you explain what fibro feels like?

    You can tell who is making a post by looking at the icon and name to the left of the post. Mine, for instance, is a big lavender colored "S", and underneath it there is my forum name. You can respond to a specific person in a couple of different ways. You can quote their entire post, by...

    Gabapentin use

    Unfortunately, there is no pain medication that heals. All that any pain medication can do is mask the pain, lower it somewhat so that a person doesn't feel it as strongly. This is necessary for some people all of the time and for others some of the time, and others are able to manage their pain...
