sore

One of the things I do when my symptoms are really bad is write. I write how I am feeling, mostly, but sometimes I write about good times I've had or the blessings in my life, and often I'll try to put my thoughts into songs or poems. It's very therapeutic for me, and I would recommend it as a...

I have had symptoms of fibromyalgia for years. 10-15. It crept up on me slowly. First was the fatigue, but I had just had a baby so they ran a bunch a blood test to see if my hormones were out of wack, etc nothing showed up so they just told me I needed to let my body recover. I also...

I saw this in an old newspaper clipping, and since it contains all natural fruits and other ingedients I thought I would post it and see if any of you have ever tried it. Use: 2 apples, quartered with skins on 2 quarts of water 6 dried figs 8 prunes 10 dried chestnuts 3 ounces of dark raisins 1...

Hi, I came across this site as I searched on the internet for 'teaching with fibromyalgia' and came across a closed thread on here and the site just asked me to start a general discussion about how FM affects my day! First of all - I was diagnosed in April 2013 and found it incredibly...

I've had a rough winter, my fibromyalgia and lupus seem to only be getting worse. I've had symptoms since I was 9, but I wasn't diagnosed until age 22. Having a diagnosis is bitter sweet. I have proof that it's not in my head and I'm not overreacting, but it also means that this isn't going to...

Hey my name is Ryan, I am 25. I started having "fibro-like" symptoms about 5 years ago that have been progressively getting worse. It began with trouble sleeping. I just stopped being able to get comfortable. After about 5 minutes of laying still the entire area of my body that is touching the...

So, for 2 years i've been dealing with multiple issues, and doctors (Only been with 2) have only scratched their heads. I've been dealing with weird sensations on my skin like someone is poking my side when sitting back in a couch or when my skin is touching a surface, but this was only the...
