I have been working hard to figure out what causes fibromyalgia and after researching and reading and talking to people I believe it is emotional. I have read Dr. John Sarno's book "Healing Back Pain" and I have just started doing EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).
For a few days I have been...
Since all the stupid weather and Christmas stress started the weekend before Christmas I have not been in a good way at all. I know i occasionally have flare-ups but this was the mother of them all and it still is with me.
I'm normally a very mild mannered person, yes things piss me off but i...
Primarily thanks to this forum, I've come to the realization that I have spent several years just passively accepting my illness without ever knowing for sure what was causing my suffering. This happened because, I think, I've undergone about ten years of being told "I don't know what's wrong...
I was diagnosed with FMS several years go after a surgery that I never seemed to recover from. It took many frustrating dr visits, a multitude of tests, and years of fighting to get the treatment that works for me. While I do not have my entire life back, I am at a place where I can function...

hello all you fibromytes! Been one for 20 long, frustrating years. Know your pain. I am finally in the anger stage and hoping with your help and support to get to the acceptance stage on my journey. Any and all feedback would be welcomed and appreciated. Much to share. Thank!
I finally found a great pain specialist after dealing with Kaiser primary care physicians.
The pain specialist deals with his own chronic pain, so he can identify with his patients.
My PCP's (primary care physicians) at Kaiser didn't really care about my situation. They were disrespectful. When...
I joined this group in October and have been reading your posts, almost daily, since then. This is my first post. Due to the fact that the medical community seems to have so few answers I find the antecdotal information on this site very helpful.
