Hi everyone:) I was just diagnosed today with Fibro. The main problem I have is the most extreme fatigue you can imagine, no matter how much sleep or rest I get. I find myself becoming so depressed because I can't function normally" that I just don't care about anything that used to matter to...

Hi there. I have just joined this forum and am finding it very interesting. I've had 35 years of fibro flares and remissions (like now!) with medical investigations showing no cause - apart from episodes of low iron stores and always slightly low white blood cell counts. I have found, as I'm...

I don't even know where to start. The pain is life (as I knew it) ending. The process of elimination is all consuming. The explanation to everyone you care about is like explaining the Big Bang to Evangelists. The medication is never ending, more pills, higher doses, weider effects and changes...

I see I have had 97 people look at my post on Social Security Disability and going before an ALS judge, yet I did not get a single reply. Has no one been through the process of going before an ALS judge? Was really hoping I could find someone who has been through this that could tell me what to...

Has anyone on this forum had to appear before an administrative law judge in order to receive your SSD? If so, do you get an answer that day as to whether or not you get the disability or do you have to wait? If you have to wait, how long is the wait? I have been denied twice so I hired a...

I was seen at one of the top hospitals in the US for my symptoms. I saw a rheumatologist, neurologist, infectious disease doctor, allergist, GI, and the pain clinic. I got what I like to call a 'non-diagnosis' of fibromyalgia. I tried a few medications that did more harm then good...

Hello! I am newly diagnosed. I was looking for others who might share the symptoms I have. It started with a tired weak feeling in my right leg when I would drive long distances. Now both my arms are usually very heavy , and get extremely fatigued after say the dishes or folding a load of...

Hello ! I am new here and recently recieved a diagnosis. I am 32 and terrified. About a year ago I noticed my right leg going numb and weak when driving long distances. Since then my right arm and now left arm both have a heavy feeling and muscle fatigue. I have been to a neuro and ra...

Hi , I'm not sure whether to be happy or discouraged. I was told by my disability lawyer that he read thru my medical records file and he did not see a diagnosis for Fibromyalgia. Furthermore, I went to my sleep doctor today and she said that my diagnoses are Chronic Pain Disorder or maybe...

Hi all! I just got diagnosed with Fibromyalgia today, but I've known I have it for a couple months now. It just made sense, with all the vague stupid symptoms I've had for 15 years now... The doctor finally agreed with me today, after I told him EVERYTHING, gave him a list of my symptoms and...
