Just reading the subject line made me want to throw up. I can't even handle knowing there is a child out there that has this dreadful FM stuff.

Can you give us more info on what he has been through, how long has it been going on and if he is taking an meds to help him deal with this. Who gave him the dx?

I just need a little more info before I put my 2 cents in lol...

I've spoke with the parents and gave them the information for this site. I think they will be checking it out and posting. I just do not know the answers to your questions. You have been so helpful, I hope this helps them.

THE ONLY INFO I HAVE IS FROM SOME OF THE TEENAGERS HERE. THEY WILL NOT USUALLY GIVE THEM PAIN MEDS B/C OF THEIR AGE WHICH IS AWFUL. I CAN'T IMAGINE GOING THRU THIS DISEASE W/O PAIN MEDS, THEY DON'T GET THE RESPECT THAT AN ADULT DOES B/C OF THEIR AGE, SO THEY HAVE NO ONE TO TALK TO . THE PARENTS WHO NO NOTHING ABOUT THE DISEASE, MAKE ALL THE RULES ABOUT EVERYTHING THEY DO, THEY DON'T HAVE A VOICE RE THEIR MEDS, THEY HAVE NO SOCIAL LIFE B/C OF FIBRO, NO ONE AT SCHOOL UNDERSTANDS THEM, SO THEY WALK BY THEM.I'M WONDERING IF ROCI IS STILL HERE, SHE IS 17 AND HAS NO SAY OVER HER LIFE, HER PARENTS DON'T EVEN BELIEVE IT'S FIBRO, JUST GROWING PAINS...I'LL TRY TO LOOK UP ROCIO AND GET HER FULL NAME...LOVE...HELEN

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
