Sorry need to vent and whine... I'm having some withdrawal symptoms so having a bad day... I'm just pissed right off with this disease and my dr. He put me on cymbalta without telling how bad it is to come off.when confronted with the hell I went through the first time he just shrugged his...

Well Folks, I took the plunge and went to an appointment with yet another pain doc yesterday. He seemed to listen well and take me seriously. I followed a fellow forum friend's (sorry, can't remember the name) advice and concentrated on my most serious issues. (Neck and shoulders at this point.)...

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...

I honestly feel as if my doctor as well as others don't know how much pain I have and just how miserable I am. When I told my friend the diagnosed she said "well, isn't that just a name they give it when they don't know". Then another person said "how do you know for sure if there was no real...

Hello, everyone! My name is Dana, and I've been diagnosed with Fibro since 2009. Fibromyalgia was the first thing I was diagnosed with when I became very sick in 2009. Fibromyalgia has unfortunately stuck with me through the years like a really awful friend. I'm really happy that I've found...

Well, it seems my old friend: thigh pain is back! Yep, my thighs are killing me right now. It feels kinda funny when I stand up, I guess I'll just ignore it tho. It feels like the kind of pain I get sometimes before my period arrives, but I rarely get that symptom... plus my period is 12 days...

Hi my name is Ann and I am new here. I do not have this but a very good friend of mine does, so I am trying to find out more information and basically educate myself on this difficult illness. My heart goes out to all who suffer from fibromyalgia and hopefully together here everyone can get the...

Luckily, I'm on a break from school, so I haven't been faced with missing any school lately, but a good friend of mine got diagnosed with fibro when she was very, very young. I remember it was so hard for her to get through school, because her attendance record was never up to par. She was in so...

Petty, I know but my husband is now suffering from hip pain, terrible hip pain, and may need his hips replaced. All of sudden, pain is a viable issue in our home! Even my grandson said, I know you have pain grandma but hips are really bad. Traitor! My hips are screaming at this very moment. I...
