Hi all, I've had fibro symptoms for about five years but was just recently diagnosed after a health incident (pelvic pain that was completely investigated and no diagnosis emerged) caused a bad flare up. I am interested in alternative/holistic care and have found that acupuncture helps with my...

So I had my hearing on November 10th before the judge. My attorney said it would take about a month to get an answer, two, if the court wanted me to see another psychologist which they did so I was hoping I would have an answer any day now so I called Social Security and the woman on the phone...

:idea: Think about going to a NUCCA chiropractor (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association). Bottom line: if your spine and body is misaligned, your brain, nerves, and blood circulation are not optimal. Pain is a common result. I've been a FM patient since 1998. Needless to say, I've had...

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I'm not used to sharing details of my fibro with others outside of my family. I am at my breaking point physically and mentally after living with this hellish disease since 1998. In the past, I would have flare-ups especially when temperatures go down, after...

My GP sent me to PT for my back and neck pain. The therapist started by giving me about 10 minutes of exercises to do at home, but each session he added more and more and I kept getting worse and worse pain in my shoulders.

So as most of you know I have a hearing before the ALJ on November 10th. My problem is I am making myself physically sick worrying about it. I am constantly nauseated for which the doctor has given me medication for. I have convinced myself that I am dying. I have been experiencing severe...

Hello everyone! I am a new member of this forum and a recently found out from my Neurologist that I have Fibromyalgia. Being 23 and hearing this news, on top of my other auto immune disorders is a little depressing. I was a very healthy, active, happy girl 5 years ago, before weird symptoms...

So, today I went to doctor because I had severe pain in whole body. Especially both legs and arms. Guess what? The doctor said, she cannot diagnose me. I asked her to just send me to the rheumatologist. But she said my symptoms not strong enough to be sent there. Another pain killer received...

Well I'm in agony today I can barely walk I rang in sick to work and they were angry about it then I got a phone call from the hospital for my mri scan which is now tomoro (to rule out arthritis hopefully) so I had to ring work to tell them I'm not in tomoro so obviously got annoyed again. They...
