Hello. Thanks for allowing me to post on the board. I was the 2nd rated player on my college tennis team, I ran a church softball league, I love the Philadelphia Eagles, and I love reptiles, amphibians, and all animals. I used to play sports a lot but cannot now. Unfortunately, after a long...

I'm not trying to sell anything here, well not for personal profit. Anyway I bought a book called Women Living with Fibromyalgia by Mari Skelly. I feel like I want to scream from the rooftops! It's not my imagination! It's real! And all you people that look at me with a lifted eyebrow!!! Please...

I've been on gabapentin since June, currently taking 600mg/day. It's (mostly) managing my pain (on good days I have virtually no pain), which makes me happy. But right after I started taking it, I gained almost 10 pounds, and I can't seem to break through the plateau I'm at right now to go back...

Okay i have had Fibro for approximately two years now. I have suffered from RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) for Ten years. The last month or two i have been having a really hard time. I called in 4 times in three weeks due to sickness. After being told Thursday that i might be just fighting a virus...

I am 39 and just recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia after a myriad of doctor's visits and blood work tests. I've been placed on a extended release NSAID pain reliever which seems to help somewhat. However, I'm still struggling with consistently getting a good night's sleep and the subsequent...

Hi! So, I posted in the newly diagnosed section but this seems to be the place to introduce ones-self, so here I go! I was just diagnosed on monday but have had a lifetime of pain in my 28 short years. I feel like a 90 year old inside and out. I was bullied all through school and never had...

Hi everyone, this subject is a little off topic but does play into my disabilities. I finally decided to break down and hire a cleaning service. I could just no longer do the bending, stretching and reaching and scrubbing that is required to clean my house. I had a company come out that was...

Hi All, I'm new to the forum and so happy I found it. I'm still learning which symptoms are fibro and which are not. Seems so far like everything is connected in this HUGE web of havoc! Do any of you have bladder issues...as far as not going enough, or when you go it's almost gotta be...

I'm actually not the fibro sufferer - it's my husband - but it's so hard on days where his symptoms are at their worst. Seeing someone you love being in pain, feeling like a wreck emotionally as well...I just wish I could be doing more, you know? I guess I even feel guilty for...
