cfs

Hello all! This past year I decided that I was going to take more control over my health and to do so, try to gain a better understanding of what was potentially causing my flares/pain. I discovered a fantastic app called fibro map (I believe it is available on both Kindle and Google Play...

I have always been a sickly child. I was diagnosed with fibro and CFS when I was 17. It seems to run in my family with at least one case confirmed with an Aunt being diagnosed possibly more. For the past 10+ years I have had a doctor phobia and had stayed away and and off of all the drug...

I am really having a difficult time finding someone in my area that knows what the hell they are doing or specialize in fibro and cfs. The rheumatologist i went to that made my diagnosis was kind of rude and very impersonal and just shoved me off back to my primary doc for treatment. Well, now...

I have been reading as much information as I can about fibro/cfs. Has anyone tried a paleo diet? It seems very hard to do. Is it worth it? Any success? :?:

I'm currently waiting on a diagnosis. My doctor seems sure I have either fibro or CFS, but will not diagnose me cuz that's not her field of expertise, and she said its too easy to get a false negative if you're not an expert at putting the pieces together. So, now I wait for a referral, but its...

I have been treating my fibro/CFS for 2 years and a myriad of mental health diagnoses for 8 years. At the age of 20, I have gotten to a manageable state in all of my illnesses while juggling fibro, depression, and college. I don't have many loved ones that have any interest in learning about my...

Every case of fibro/CFS is different. In my case, I was diagnosed at the age of 18 following previous diagnoses of Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety Disorder, ADD, and Asthma. Due to my lengthly list of health concerns, I think that my dad, sister, and brother have written me off as dramatic...

I am not happy right now. I received a call from my insurance stating my out of pocket for my Remicade infusions for my psoriatic arthritis will cost me $9,000 per year! Needless to say, I cannot afford that. It was really helping me tolerate the arthritis and works better than the other...

Hi guys, I was at my rhuematologist yesterday and we were discussing my fatigue. He gave me the name of a dr in the UK that has done research and treatment for CFS. I visited the web site and found the information and studies interesting. Her name is Dr. Sarah Myhill. After you read it, any...
