I have decided that I am going to find a Pain Specialist instead of go to my rheumy, my rheumy doesn't know much at all about Fibro (though she would never admit it like yours did). I have an appt...
Ugh, everyone is doing horribly today.. I'm in an awful mood as well... I also do not have any pain meds whatsoever for this condition and I find myself in a lot of pain often. I, being stupid...
Ooh Lori /community/emoticons/sad.gif /community/emoticons/sad.gif Today seems like a bad day for almost everyone. I'm not having the greatest time in my life either, believe me. I am SO sorry you...
Tricia, I wasn't able to read all of everyone else's posts to you, I'm having a little problem consentrating today - I'm in horrible pain, so forgive me if I repeat anything someone else has said......
Luvscars, I had posted for you when you posted about your chest and jaw problems in Tammy's thread, but in case you don't see it there, this is exactly what I had said: I don't know too much about...

So, on this other site I have joined, there is a forum specifically for teens/young adults... I thought I would ask THEM about mobility aids, if any of them used any, and how they have worked for...
I know exactly what you mean Sue, you did make sense (to us Fibromites anyway) and it was a very good q to ask!! I don't have an answer, although someone else has suggested to me to get better shoes,...
I agree with Stat: the piano is such a beautiful instrument, you're lucky to have that gift.. I've tried to play my share of instruments and I just don't grasp the process of learning very easily.. I...
Starbrite, I know I know, I feel for you... I've been going through a flare now for a bit and it is an AWFUL one. The pain is unbearable! Especially in my arms and elbows. I'm sorry you have to go...

Welcome eXcelon!! Glad you have found us /community/emoticons/smile.gif I understand what you mean.. and in the end I may end up asking for pain meds also, but since I have been diagnosed all I have...
Hi, all! Like I have mentioned before in other posts, my balance is very off, I need to hold onto to things while walking and I have fallen down a few times before (thankfully haven't hurt myself...
Yes, Orlo, I agree very much with Margie, animals can always touch us in a special way. And my ferret also even knows when I am having a bad day, she'll actually kiss my face when I am upset or...
I'm glad the other girls were able to help you out a bit, Donna. That feeling sounds annoying and unpleasant. RLS is one thing I have never experienced, I get tingling in my legs and arms, but...
OMG, Margie, that did bring tears to my eyes I'm going to save that to my computer if you don't mind... I'm so glad you shared this. xoxo...
Yes, I agree with Rich that denial is just part of our process... there is so much to take in all at once and of course we will be in denial for quite some time (some longer than others - everyone is...
Hello, I just answered to another one of your threads, but I just wanted to officially welcome you... so welcome, stay awhile, and we're so glad you have found us!! /community/emoticons/smile.gif...
Hi, Hazed, I agree with Sue, you do sound much like a Fibromite.. your pain sounds an awful lot like what I appearence also... BUT like Sherrine also mentioned, Fibro does mimic other illnesses. I...

Julie: “I, too, have been assigned months of futility, long and weary nights of misery. When I go to bed, I think, `When will it be morning?' But the night drags on, and I toss till dawn…And now my...
Ohh Sue, I know exactly what you are saying... people do act like we can just shake this off and everything magicly will get better. And yes, I do feel like saying "take a walk in my shoes!" People...
Hi!!! It is 7:15 a.m. and I've barely slept yet, my insomnia's been horrible, on and off for about a month now. I did sleep a little tonight - I plan on trying to get some more rest once I am done...
Hello Susie, I believe we haven't met since you say you haven't posted in a while... I am Jenna, only 21 years old, diagnosed with Fibro in December but had it for about a year now, and am often...
Hello there! I have experienced this as well, the racy heartbeat, felt it only a few times ever in my eyes, but in my head I have pretty many times.. I used to be very iron-deficient as well, but not...
Hi Tammy, I was just diagnosed with Fibro also, in the beginning of December, but started with it about a year ago now.. the cause of it is still not certain, there are a few things actually that...
Hahaha I don't know, Danielle, how you guys even do your "signatures". I don't have a lot in mine so I just type it in the same way every single time after I make a post, which is probably dumb, I...
Oh I know all of which you are speaking of, Lori! I do get that weird sensation on my scalp, have a lot of problems with my hips but in my case it's mostly the left (my left side is typically what...
Yes, I am a person who does not like to be on medications (I have OCD and tend to think a lot about what those medications can do to you in the longrun - I believe in natural remedies) so I have used...
You know what, Mermaid, that is a very good question to ask... I have been actually wondering which one to go to too, a pain doctor or a rheumy, like I'm going to now. Sorry I don't have an answer...
QT, I am sorry you are going through a rough patch.. I too have not been up to doing much, am in unbearable pain, and haven't been able to sleep till the wee hours of the morning because the aches...
Hahaha you guys are all so silly, I love you's! Kitkat, I definately have a lot of problems remembering while I am in the shower. Always stop and think "did I do this already???" "Well guess I Should...
Yes, well, when I am ready to go to sleep I often can't because the pain gets so bad. I find that my pain tears start rolling often times at night. And if I do happen to fall asleep right away, the...
I found an interesting article on the history of Fibromyalgia, about the evidence of it's existence in the early 1900's and even in the biblical times!!!! It had a few things about Florence...
