    Do Not Judge

    You come to my house and I am still in my pjs and my house is not clean/tidy, you think what a lazy slob. Unless you have FM you have no idea why so do not judge. Do you know how much effort it takes to get showered and dressed when you have barely enough energy to get out of bed? Do you...

    Sleep study tomorrow, what should I expect?

    My insurance finally approved my sleep study. I go tomorrow night. They didn't tell me a whole lot except to wash my hair but not to put conditioner in my hair:-? Which is funny because I have super thick super long hair that is going to be snarled mess if I don't use some conditioner, and to...

    20, chronic pain - what does it sound like to YOU?

    Hi! Let me be another one of those people coming in here panicking about how they think they have fibromyalgia ;P I am 20 years old. I've had chronic pelvic pain since I was about 16 (chalked up to my polycystic ovarian syndrome, despite the fact that I've had ultrasounds, pelvic exams and even...

    tennesee considering medical marijuana

    Tennessee is considering medical marijuana and I believe that the wording allows the dr. to recommend it if thought to be medically helpful. Good luck down there this is huge news that it is even being brought up for conversation.

    Ignorance of People

    I've had autoimmune issues since I was 8 years old. I'm 34 now, so I've been 'sick' longer than I haven't been. It's a way of life and I can hide it pretty darn well. My parents have retired in Mexico and I spend, at least, the winters there, with them. The stable and not cold weather makes a...

    Its not like you have cancer.....

    I need to vent.....I was having a conversation with my husband yesterday about fibromyalgia and still trying to accept my diagnosis when he said its not like you have cancer. That sentence just keeps replaying in my head. Obviously it's not like accepting I have cancer but it's not like I have a...

    Is it fibro

    Hi, I am so glad I found this site, I had a car accident two years ago, I was stationary and was hit from behind by a 4x4, then pushed forward into the car in front of me. I woke up in the car with my eyes rolling round in my head, I tried to move and had bad neck and back pain, BTW the driver...

    Nice huh. He says fibro is bs and all in my head. I was so hurt & offended! Anyone else ever had a reaction like that? This conversation just happened today & I am devastated.

    I've fallen and I can't get up.

    I’m 40 years old and I feel like my life is over. Was that all I had to offer? (Not that that’s a bad thing.) I have no where to go from here but down. This is soo heavy for me I have no choice but to put it all aside just so I can try and have a normal day. I don’t think it’s working...

    Thanks for telling me - the patient!

    Hi all, I am new to the forum and am going through a hard time. To sum it up, I had some severe stress in Nov 2013 and in Jan started having back pain and now it's everywhere. If its not a major muscle spasm it's skin sensitivity, depression/anxiety, IBS, or brain fog. Or all of them at once...
