Re: Here again with questions.

I'm sorry you are in so much pain. There could be a lot of reasons for your pain. You might want to read my last post to "frenchwoman" about her pains. I had rib fractures, muscle pain, and...

Re: Family & Friends with "Miracle Cures"

Re: sleep how important is it?

If you are waking every 2 hours and having bad dreams, then your blood sugar may be too low. You might check that out. With my last flare, my reactive hypoglycemia was causing that.

Re: Surgery and fibro symptoms

For me, the big stressors that aggravate my flares are stress and illness/ injury. So, it looks as if you have both. No wonder you are in pain. Then add in your concern for your baby and your...

Re: a mother who still asks why are you still sick!anyone else have to deal with this

It is very frustrating. I know I've told my mother and sister many times why I have all these problems. I almost hate to complain because then I have to explain it is because of Fibromyalgia. They...

Re: Still can't accept Fibro Diagnosis

I feel for you and can empathize with you. It sounds as if your husband is grieving for the old you, but is taking it out on you. Be careful. Name- calling, put-downs, making the other person feel...

Re: Fibro frustration

Re: ACE results

Re: How helpful is narcotic pain medication on your FM symptoms
