I'm glad he is starting to come around! Men and women really do cope differently. It was hard for me to accept this is real and some days I can't just push through it. I worked through broken bones,...
I have an appointment with my PCP on Tuesday. We'll discuss going back to the neurologist. I don't know why the other scans and tests weren't done before. I was new to this whole process and i had a...
I had accepted my dx. In fact i welcomed it. It was a burdened lifted to finally have a doc say this is what is causing your pain and we will treat it with this. My wife and i are in the process of...
After years of pain and what seemed like every medical test known to man, i was dx'd with fibromyalgia about 3 years ago. At one time my doc suspected ms. Many of the symptoms are similar. In my case...
I never did the balance or coordination tests that i can remember. I have a doc appointment on Tuesday to talk things over. I'm sure its my imagination getting the best of me. After years of dealing...
As a man with fibro i sometimes have a hard time with it. I'll ask my self the sane thing your husband asks you. Why am I laying in bed? I need to get up and do something! I guess it us a guy thing....
I was dx'd with fibro about 3 years ago. Of course that took awhile. I've had every test possible run a few times. Just having a doc put a name on it was a blessing. No more, "every thing looks...
I guess that depends by what you mean by under control. I've been dx'd for about 3 years. Of course we all had symptoms for a long time before the docs settled on fibro. Some days i know are gonna be...
There are a few of us. I haven't been very active posting. I mainly drop in and read everyone's posts to remind myself I'm not crazy. My symptoms are pretty consistent with the ladies on here Fatigue...
Thanks for the reminder! I was just sitting here feeling guilty for staying home from church. My wonderful wife could tell I was having a bad morning. She got the kids ready and headed out. Now to do...
Sherrine, weather fronts are the worst! I usually feel bad a day or two before the temp drops. We have one coming through now giving me my first flair up in months. I'll be spending this morning on...
I often get bouts of sweeting. It is bad enough that my hair it's wet. It can be embarrassing to be with a group of people who are comfortable and i look like I've been on the treadmill. As a 38 year...
I haven't been on the forum in months. I guess that's a good thing, I tend to not check it when I'm feeling better. I can go into denial when my symptoms subside. probably not the healthiest attitude...
I was dx'd about a year ago. At that time I tried cymbalta. I really didn't like it. I just made me feel off. I stopped using it and went me free for a long time (may be a guy thing by, I didn't want...
Acheybody- I just had to buy my wife a new tea ketttle I put the old one on and forgot all about it. It didn't have a whistle so I didn't realize what I had done until the smoke detector went off ....
The bruised feeling on the bottom of my feet is the worst! It feels better after i walk around awhile. My hands and feet are often the first places I feel it when I'm going into a flair....
I have had shaking mainly in my left hand for a few years. It starts with my thumb and sometimes spreads until my whole hand is shaking bad enough I can't pick up a pen. This was one of the symptoms...
I was dx'ed about 6 months ago. My doc told me it was about 20% of fibro patients that are men. I started reading this forum around then. I registered today just so I could respond to you. You are...
