OK, I feel very angry and easily-agitated today, which isn't usually like me (not anymore anyway)... I don't know what's causing it.. I'm actually not in a whole lot of pain, I'm gimping around...
AWW, Tennis, *hug* my thoughts and heart go out to you! I DO KNOW exactly how you feel... really... that was me all throughout school, feeling unconnected, different, alone. Chutzie probably is right...
Chuzzle, I don't think we've "met"? But my thoughts and heart are with you during this difficult time. xoxo -Jenna ______________________________________ 21 years old Fibromyalgia, Bipolar, OCD,...
HAPPY (LATE) BIRTHDAY, CINDY!!!!!!!!! /community/emoticons/smile.gif /community/emoticons/smile.gif Orlo, I didn't realize you were 19!... and I know exactly how you feel, I stay at home a lot too...
Yes, I also get the internal trembling.. actually this is going to sound crazy but I SWEAR it gets worse when I drink a lot of water... now, okay, water is GREAT for you, especially when you have...
HAH omg I never thought of that either, I always doll myself up, only because of my acne problems, if I didn't have acne I wouldn't wear any make-up at all (kind of always been a tomboy)... but...
Yes, I'm the same as Pamela, I am TERRIBLE with numbers... but I ALWAYS was too, I actually have a math learning disability BUT I swear it has only gotten worse!!! My spelling actually is really good...
Corrie, YES, my face started to look beautiful for a long time after my teenage years of struggling with bad acne... NOW all of a sudden, it's been getting bad again! I use Proactiv though every...
Oh wow, Dagger, that's pretty intense and it does make sense... mizz, maybe get heating pads for now to put on your most painful spots, and honestly what works for me for my anxiety is to breathe in...
Hi Melissa!! What a pleasure it is to meet you!! So glad you've joined this board (even though it's unfortunate that you have to /community/emoticons/rolleyes.gif ) I was diagnosed with Fibro in...
Seems like they gave you some good advice, Wyld! I wish you so much luck at your appointment!! Let us know how it went!!!!!! xoxo -Jenna /community/emoticons/smile.gif...
YEAH, I was actually wondering this as well... the past few days I feel like I have a cold but I wasn't sure if it was just the Fibro!!! I think it is a cold indeed because my nose is never stuffy...
Danielle, I couldn't figure out what "klatch" meant either LOL Good to know now, Sherrine.. thank you /community/emoticons/smile.gif _________________________________________ 21 years old...
I also have a bad med phobia, have never tried cymbalta before... Sorry I can't be of help. __________________________________ 21 years old Fibromyalgia, Bipolar, OCD, Dependent Personality Disorder...
I find myself questioning my anxiety a lot, seeing as how I have always had it throughout my childhood due to my Bipolar Disorder... and NOW I have Fibro which also causes anxiety AND 2 anxiety...
Hmm, you've tried prunes? I always had a serious problem with constipation, for as long as I can remember, and prune juice ALWAYS helped it. How much fruit do you usually eat? I've heard that pears,...
Hmm.. I haven't had anxiety attacks in YEARS but I still have shallow breathing and find myself being out of breath sometimes, especially while walking, like Donnaeil has said. I think mine is NOT...
Momteach, I have terrible balance problems (my rheumy is pretty concerned seeing as how I am only 21 years old!) but what is chiari malformation?? I think I have heard of it once before but never...
Susie, we're so glad to have you back!! Sorry you had to go through such an ordeal. Denise, I got a lot of sicknesses due to germs when I was little from thumb-sucking... I sucked my thumb for a very...
Hi Cathy! I have not had exactly what you are describing either but as Denise said, with this DD I guess almost anything is possible... I do have major eye problems that I have never had before the...
Hey Chutzie! I have found with Fibro, I have stopped eating/liking foods that I once did. Like I just posted on Donna's "chocolate" thread, I no longer crave chocolate ever, I actually look at it...
In my case, I USED TO crave chocolate like crazy (especially around my time of the month) and I NEVER do now anymore.. maybe because I refuse to eat or drink anything at all with caffeine in it......
Corrie, yeah, I tend to have dark circles under my eyes too.. do you think that has to do with the Fibro - the fatigue from it or something? Or is it more because I'm a vegetarian? Idk...
I must say Shannon, in my experiences, no, I have not gotten anything else because of my Fibro.. maybe the doctor did mean your history with pneumonia or the infection from your HS.. OR maybe we are...
I must relate to Chutzie in the sense that I have found no "warning signs", not yet at least.. I also can go from hardly any pain to extreme pain in no time.. Try to relax Patti and pace yourself!!...
I would LOVE to post one of my poems, I've been writing since I was 11 and have over 500 of them stored away.. BUT I have not gotten anything copy-writed yet (family would like me to publish them) so...
I've always gotta wear my make-up (waiting for the day my acne goes away where I don't feel I need to anymore), straighten my hair (naturally frizzy and wavy), and wear cute, edgy outfits.. I can't...
Haha /community/emoticons/tongue.gif This is cute /community/emoticons/tongue.gif Thank you for sharing, Ivy! ____________________________________________ 21 years old Fibromyalgia, Bipolar, OCD,...

/community/emoticons/smile.gif Thank you, Boo, I've saved this to my comp as well! xoxo _______________________________________ 21 years old Fibromyalgia, Bipolar, OCD, Dependent Personality...
Tyno, I as well have a lot of trouble in the morning.. for instance, I just woke up about an hour and a half ago (been sleeping normally at least lately - thank god!!) and I am still stiff and achy....
Aw, thank you Denise! Yeah, I've been keeping a pretty good attitude.. I have all of you to thank for that as well /community/emoticons/smile.gif ..and today should be okay, my husband is actually...

HI AGAIN /community/emoticons/smile.gif , I was in an out-patient program at a near-by hospital in december (due to a bad Bipolar episode), actually around the time I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia....
Hmm, yes, I as well have gotten my thyroid tested, they thought for a little bit that I could've had problems with it due to certain symptoms I was experiencing... BUT long behold, not only did they...

Denial, no, I have not experienced anything like what you are describing, BUT take blessed's advice: do not give up and keep searching for someone who knows what is going on with you.. I am really...
"The Athlete's Foot" doesn't sound like too appealing of a name lol /community/emoticons/confused.gif I've never heard of it.. I was actually planning on going on a search for good shoes, my feet...
Hey dude /community/emoticons/smile.gif , as Chutzie has said, all-over, wide-spread body pain and aches can definately be a sign of Fibromyalgia, BUT unfortunately we cannot diagnose you... try and...
Turmoyle, welcome to the family, you are always welcome here. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in december and have found this forum to help me out a lot.. everyone is wonderful here!! I have...

Hello my fellow Fibromites, it's me, Jenna!!! Just wanted to share a little giggle-worth story about my husband and I playing Scrabble last night... SO for you to understand things a little better,...
Ooh, hmm Idk Wyld, I've gotten nasty shooting pains and tingling in my TOES a lot... but nothing ever in my foot quite like you described... well hopefully it was just a one night thing then, and it...
Hahaha yes, it isn't her "real" name in the show, it's just what Dr. House calls her.. there's a little story behind it - has to do with her introduction to the show and whatnot... but thank you for...
Yes, I agree Aimee, some are easier said than done, but they do NEED to be done.. it's a big part of what we have... thank you so much for this, Karen.. I think I'm actually going to save this to my...
