I'm not making any claims about this, but I did think it was interesting, and though others might, too:

FYI Ann, you can't apparently view the article unless you have a Medscape account to log in to.

Maybe you could give us a summary of what it is about...?

I didn't know that. It's a bit too complicated for me to summarize.

If I find another article based on this I'll post it.

So, this is likely not going to be helpful, but I found another medical journal article about Mast Cell Activation Disorders and pain including fibro and many of the painful disorders I see discussed on the fibro board all the time. This is all new to me. I'm putting so it is here as a reference for those who want to slog through it.

This seems to be a newly discovered disorder.

Hi I am new here. Seems like a positive place, which is great.
However, battling the many symptoms of this illness weighs
heavy on the emotions. Can't help but get down when I am in
pain, exhausted, foggy headed and physically depressed. I imagine
that these have all been topics of conversation in the past.
I like the upbeat feel of this group, but sometime I am looking for
support--not to be a cry baby, but some understanding and
"I get it" type thing. Am I in the right group or is there another
one that might be better? thanks

Jannytheresa, this is the right group . You can start a conversation and share how you are feeling - I have found the support you are talking about here.
I "get it" - tired of pain, being exhausted, fog brain, physically tired, fatigue, sad, anxious, depressed and just wanting to feel normal.
Some days are better than others but I always find it helpful to read and or share with others who fight the fibro battle. Gentle hug for you ! PJ

It is on Apple TV now season 4 episode 1 dropped on Wed and will continue dropping each Wed until season ends some time later this year.I must add I will gladly be paying the $19.99 per month to get these shows each week after my free 30day trial of apple tv ends from buying a...
