    I am currently on short term disability, but my time is about up and I need to go back to work. I want to ask for some work accommodations to help reduce my symptoms.

    VENT - nothing is helping me??

    I have been trying literally every type of treatment and therapy and nothing has made ANY difference. I'm getting to the point where I think the fibro diagnosis was just the doctor shrugging and saying "well, can't be anything else." Chiro, PT, cymbalta, supplements, even prednisone (which works...

    Newly diagnosed - will I be able to exercise again?

    28 F, recently diagnosed with the "all tests are negative, sounds like fibromyalgia" I don't really understand what having fibro does to my body. Just six months ago I was weightlifting in the gym like a boss. I loved it! I would feel great. Once COVID shut down the gyms - I stopped going and...

    Are my symptoms fibro?

    Hi everyone, (28 F) Just today my doctor brought up that my symptoms could be fibromyalgia. I have had a series of unexplained symptoms for at least 6+ years now. I will try to explain, but they are kind of all over the place. My first complaints were of these few second intervals for...
