treatment

I am sure many of us go to physical therapy as a part of our treatment. So, I am thinking we can share some of the excercises that our physical therapist give us with those who cannot afford to go to therapy so that they can get some relief as well. If you can copy a link to a you tube or...

How many of us go to a counselor either as a part of treatment with your MD or voluntarily on your own. I personally believe this is a big part of my success with Fibro management. I believe others can benefit from it as well. So, lets share and see where this thread can go. Maybe we will...

I was diagnosed with fibro over 21 years ago. In that time I have tried everything, and I mean everything! To no avail, some things worked for awhile but then back into the hell. Five days ago I had a procedure done that is called an atlas alignment. I am experiencing more energy and the brain...

After nearly 20 years of having fibro, I figured I needed some fellow support. Since no one in my family knows what it's like, it's hard for them to understand, as you all well know. A little background. I have been married nearly 22 years and have three children - 20, 19, and 16. I'm also a...

At last I have found someone who fully understands our illness. I watched his NON COMMERCIAL video from the University of California..His name Dr Andrew J Gross. OSHER centre of intergrative medecine under " Mini medical school for the public " THIS IS NOT A VIDEO WITH A HIDDEN AGENDER OR...

I was diagnosed 8 years ago and am almost where I was then even tho many Drs and way to many NSAIDs trying to control pain. I am an asthmatic, not controlled and this complicates treatment. I guess I just needed to tell someone that I hurt all the time. I do little exercise because that hurts...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my story. In 2008 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Now, I live on the East Coast, so i've heard of Lyme disease, but I didn't really give it a second thought. Anyway, fast forward 4 years...I'm not getting better, and I sure as heck am not getting any...

To have a section of this forum dedicated to the venting that is very healthy for those in our position. However, I do not really have anything that I need to get off my chest but, its good to know that it's here when I need it. Holding things in just is not good. It works with our disease to...

Today, I have finally gotten the Fibro diagnosis. "I" have known I have had it for years. I am unable to work because of the pain and fog, and no sleep. But of course SS doesn't believe in all that either. I had high hopes of finally going to the Rheumatologist today and being able to start my...
