    Venting here instead of at my friends

    Or worse, my colleagues. Both groups are very supportive, but I feel like they don't need to know that I'm in pain because I slept badly, and I just had to take my earrings out because they were becoming a pain trigger. (I feel rather naked now. Large earrings are my trademark!) I keep...

    Hi there! FMS/CFS...now on top of a rare disorder

    I'm so glad that there is a support group forum here! I was diagnosed with FMS and CFS all in the same year of 2006. Just recently I found out that I may have inherited my mother's rare disorder Stickler Disease, but some of my symptoms are not as severe as hers. Stickler Disease is a...

    Long Overdue "Hello"

    Hello Everybody! I know, I know... I should have registered with this forum long ago, as I was diagnosed with Fibro and CFS in 1994. I have long thought of joining a good fibro forum, but my struggles with my symptoms, particularly gut problems, joint pain, and fatigue, have eaten up most of...
