Hi, everyone- new here (but not new to fibro) and looking for community. I'm in my mid-30s and in the last few weeks of my seventh straight year of college- I went back in 2009 to complete a BA, then turned around and went into an MA program after graduation, THEN turned around and started a PhD...

A student with fibro night be overwhelmed by the physical and mental burdens that make school life hard. It may slow them down but they can make adjustments. Inform the teachers that the student may miss some classes due to the condition. The student can also keep the workload realistic by...

I'm new here. I was diagnosed with RA 7 years after I started having symptoms in 2007. I started having relief but then I began to have pain again. My SED rates (inflammation) were perfect so my Rheumatologist started changing my meds. Nothing worked for 2 years. One day a student working with...

I joined this forum today, everybody here seems really supportive. To be honest though, at first reading things here depressed me more. Everybody struggles with it so much and it makes every part of life so hard and it's not fair to any of us. Especially being 20 years old and having failed out...

Hi everyone! I'm a 20 year old female, and for the past year or so, I've been in constant pain. I just woke up with pain one day and it never went away. The pain radiates throughout my entire body, and it gets worse depending on how many activities I do during the day. I'm a full-time college...

I'm a 19 year old college student who was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia but I have been living with this pain for the last 3 years. I have severe anxiety and depression that goes along with a ridiculous amount of pain that never seems to go away and keeps me up normally till about 4am...

I went to see a rheumatologist today and was actually diagnosed but he did not want to put it on my record yet since we still have to have the results from my HLA-B27 Antigen, SED Rate (ESR), Cyclic Citrullinated, Peptide (CCP) AB (IGG), C Reactive Protein and Rheumotoid Factor Blood to come...

Hello all, first post here! I'm a 19-year-old literature student and I just started studying to get my bachelor's degree. I currently have 4 classes a week, so 12 hours, and I intend on reducing to only 3 classes and 9 hours, but I'm still having a hard time combine fibromyalgia and studying...
