First time on a FMS site and my biggest question is what tips can you share about daily living with FMS. For instance, I have had to hire a housekeeper to clean and vacuum for me. Many days I rest for 20-30 minutes, then get up and around for 20-30 min. Which means I never accomplish what I...

I was finally diagnosed with Fibro last week. I have been living with chronic pain and fatigue for years. The past six months has been brutal. Things I once loved to do our now impossible. I feel alone. None of my family or friends seem to understand. They would playfully make fun of my daily...

I have been dealing with RSD and Fibromyalgia for 10 year. My husband will not rub my back, saying because I won't rub his and that his back hurts because he works. My kids who are 20 and 21 will not help around the house, they both say, because they work, leaving all the housework to my 17...
