Thought I had already did post but must have missed the post button- Fibro brain. :)
I am new here and thought the support may be helpful at this point so here it goes. A little background, I was diagnosed in 97 after the birth of my second child. I was in so much general pain I could barely...
Grab a snack this could take a while.
I'm 38 years old. Male. A Medically Retired Navy Helicopter mechanic. I have had two microdiscectomy/laminectomy surgeries along with the removal of disk material from L4-L5 and L5-S1. I suffer from chronic back and leg pain and have since 1995 when I and...
A long time ago, in a galaxy far away... sorry, I could not resist. That is just one of my other conditions rearing its head, StarWarsNerd-itis. Hey, we have to find something to laugh about, right?
Anyway, I guess this is my Fibro story...

I need to know if anyone ever experienced any stroke like symptoms? I've spent this weekend in the hospital taking test after test and everything comes back negative. I feel like such a fool, it's so frustrating to go to the hospital for what you think is an emergency and find that there isn't...
So the day finally came for me to go and get my blood work results and talk about treatment options today. First, my blood work came back normal and negative for the list of test run to rule out autoimmune diseases and other illness that could be causing my chronic fatigue and pain. Big relief...

Hi everyone. My name is Jayelle and I'm new here. As you've guessed, I'm also new to fibro...or at least having a diagnosis.
Has anyone else had a hard time just getting a doctor to listen to you? I've been told everything from, "Well, we can't find out what's wrong so we're not going to do...

5 years ago, I was healthy, or so I thought I was, then I had a stroke. From that point and time, everything in my life went into a downward spiral. Before all that I worked 2 jobs to keep me and my kids afloat...and then it seemed after all that I could barely get up out of the bed I was so...
Not sure where to start. My name is Jenn. Still in the process in trying to find out what all is wrong with me. A few years ago I had a stroke.....which for whatever reason triggered a couple autoimmune responses. Pernicious anemia and Hashimotos Thyroiditis. Before all of that I worked...
Hi all!
First I apologize if I come across brusque or incompetent, I have lost a lot of my verbal language and some of my written so sometimes I come across differently than I intend to.
I am 31 years old and have had these symptoms for about two years. I've been to the doctor and had lots of...
