complain

Hi, folks. I'm new to this forum and new to my fibro diagnosis. I have been seeing a pain doc due to pack pain. Over the years I have had pain in my hips that is actually worse than the back pain - I can't lie on either side because of the hip pain and I can't lie on my back because of back...

Having struggled with major depression for most of my life, and being at this point severely depressed, I thought that I would open this thread to see if anyone else here is interested in discussion this topic. I am wondering if we can give each other support and even encouragement, or at the...

Hi there! I was diagnosed about a month ago although it was suggested to me years ago but I wasn't ready to accept the diagnosis. I'm struggling with the stigma. I feel that anyone I tell rolls their eyes and thinks, "Here's another thing you're going to complain about." I have treatment...

Well I've had fibromyalgia for the past 6 years 1 month 10 days. I only feel getting worst and everything I try I have to say has only helped my drastic swelling. I would swell up to 20lb in one day to another but know it's about 5lb to 8lb. I feel this is a great accomplishment and I hope my...

Hi, I'm a new member and so glad I found you. my therapist suggested I try to find a support group. Along with the constant pain...I've apparently been in a flair up since being diagnosed..I experience "hitting the wall" fatigue. The first step was to do a sleep study and they found my oxygen...

After some searching and not finding any real active online forums in my own country, (Netherlands) I decided to try and find some support on a foreign forum. Pleased to meet you! I've had my diagnoses at the end of last year. It started out with some pain in one of my hips. After a few months...
