I'm not trying to be annoying, but the National Cancer Institute busted the myth that aspartame increases the rick of cancer in any way. The reason I said not to drink diet soda is because it's sweet...
No problem. The whole reason I decided to write it out was because a lot of people that come on here are very depressed and pessimistic most of the time. Depression is a destructive cycle that can...
Thank you very much for your support....

For some reason I'm one of the only people on here that absolutely loves the summer. In-fact it's so good, that I don't have to deal with FM a whole lot, but then winter comes around and oh boy.. I...
Fibromyalgia is considered a syndrome that runs in families, but not everyone gets it because it needs something to pull the trigger. I doubt it ever set it off for me, because I was so young; but...
In 2006 when I was about 14, I had sinus surgery and a rhinoplasty to help fix reoccurring sinus infections. The surgery never made an impact so I was sent to a doctor that misdiagnosed me with auto...

Memory loss is a big part of FM and is what some call 'FibroFog'. While there are no indefinite treatments for memory loss, there are things to try that may help in the long run. First I'll ask- Do...
My only recommendation- Enjoy the days outside when it's at a comfortable temperature for you and otherwise stay inside with the AC on when possible. When it comes to weather, there's really not a...
There are so called "Doctors" all over the internet recommending radical and unsafe therapies and drugs that haven't been approved by the FDA. If I were you I would stop believing all the BS you read...

FM seems to be getting worse again this time of the year and it's making my day to day life seemingly unbelievable. This is last year... all over again. My sleeping habits have changed rapidly and...

I've done the sleep apnea thing. They just said that my brain is still actively going just as much when I'm awake making it so I can't get in a deep sleep. I graduated highschool last year and...
Thanks for the reply. My parents are pretty understanding since they know I'm not lying. It's just my siblings that drive my crazy. I was diagnosed with fm after like 2 years of doctor visits. I've...
After a restful summer, my old symptoms seem to be coming back. I started taking a pill from VitaminWorld early last summer that all of a sudden cured my horrible problems with sleeping. But, the...
It's kind of a silly question, but I've been suffering from fm for many years and yah I'm a guy. So far the only progress I've made with my illness is that I bought some pills at vitaminworld to help...
