    Feeling encouraged by Bowen therapy and elimination diet

    Hello everyone. I wanted to share two things that seem to be helping me. In the past two weeks I've had two Bowen therapy sessions. I had been wanting to try some sort of hands-on therapy but thought that traditional massage would be too painful. Bowen is not really considered a massage but a...

    Fear of being labeled an imposter

    I've been dealing with chronic pain increasingly over the last two years. (I think longer, but I really started noticing it a couple of years ago.) I had my first appointment with a rheumatologist and he said I have fibromyalgia, and he thinks I also have an autoimmune condition. He ordered a...

    I feel stupid , embarassed and alone with fibro

    I was recently diagnosed with FM back in March. This has been about a 3 year process and I'm still not convinced. Three years ago I started having some pain and discomfort in the front and back of neck. Soon after I started having back spasms and they would cause me to be on the couch for a day...

    Hi! Im Laila and im 33. I have a two year old son. About a year after I had my son I noticed changes. I would get nauseated for no reason. I was trying moderate exercise with some diet changes and I put weight on. I then started getting daily headaches, which often turned into migraines and...

    CBD Oil = MAJOR improvement

    I just wanted to share that I recently started using CBD oil (hemp - legal in all 50 states). The difference is amazing. Most of my normal pain is gone (flares still hurt), plus I'm sleeping through the night again. I was feeling better within 2 weeks of starting. I've recommended it to a...

    Do these symptoms check out?

    Hello, I'm 27 and, after looking up the symptoms of fibromyalgia, I'm wondering if I may not be suffering from it. I also looked up some of the possible causes of fibro. I'll begin when the symptoms started, after I had a mRSA infection at the age of 22. The doctors surgically removed the...

    Gov't restrictions

    With the new gov't. restrictions on opioids, every month I have to visit my prescribing Dr. for the Rx. The biggest trouble is the extra $ it now costs me to see the Dr. each month and the urine tests sent to the lab. For someone on a fixed income this is truly a hardship! In future I may not be...

    FM/a blood test

    I have been reading about a new Fibromyalgia blood test that claims to be 99% accurate in diagnosing FM and ruling out other conditions. Has anyone read about it or talked to their doctor about it? Has anyone had this test done yet? If so, what are your thoughts? I am seriously considering...

    If Pain and Fatigue Weren't a Problem...

    What would you do? Earlier, I got to thinking about things I'd like to do and try to figure out a way to make it happen. Of course, I have FM and the chronic pain holds me back from doing so much. I thought, if that wasn't a problem, ID love to take my daughter to Disney World. I'm newly...
