Hi everyone, thanks for taking a moment to read my post. I'm a 35 year old otherwise healthy woman. For the past 1 1/2 years I have been dealing with weird episodes that come and go. The episodes seem to appear out of the blue (are not triggered by stress or any other thing I can identify)...

Well, I'm Caitie. I'm 22 years old and was diagnosed with FM 4 months ago after being sick since I was about 12. I am so happy to have a diagnosis, but I'm struggling with it still. I work 40+ hours a week and it's fairly physically demanding. I'm hoping this forum will help me to cope and to...
