Sorry it took me so long to see this, I do work very late lately and it has made my pain even worse. I wore a back brace for many years when I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was in middle school...
I have had numerous surgeries and also lost both of my parents when they were only 58 and 60 years of age to horrible diseases (cancer and early onset alzheimers) So that put a lot of extra stress on...

The RA that diagnosed me thank god was an amazing dr. He knows that Fibro is real and he has been doing studies and research for years. He told me point blank that he was a retired dr that was just...
I am just turned 43 in October and I work retail with a lot of younger kids and they call me "Granny" because I moan a little each time I reach up or bend down and sometimes need a little help...
I take all of that listed above minus the colostrum. Is this a pill form that you can get? I have never looked for it and never even knew to look for it. I remember that was the first thing that came...

The rheumotolgist that I just saw last week told me that the other dr in the practice will not ever diagnose a patient with fibro since she does not believe it is real. SO do that research before you...
Never, I wish my parents were here with me. They were taken way to soon from cancer and early onset alzheimers. I would not be able to blame them for anything other than being the best parents ever....
