- Let me just start by saying I don't have fibro. My husband does. I used to come on this board a lot when I didn't know much about his condition and I was learning how to support him. So this post isn't really a fibro post necessarily but I need...
- I'm so so scared. I used to just get migraines with pain behind one eye, light sensitivity, etc. Now I get neurological symptoms. I've had 3 migraines now where I've had those scary symptoms. The first time I couldn't speak words in the right order...
- Hi, im excited to share a brand new blog that I'm writing with a friend. We're both occupational therapists, and both our lives have been drastically altered by chronic pain (she has pain, and I am a supporter for my husband who has fibromyalgia)....
- Hi, I'm excited to share a brand new blog that I'm co-writing with a friend. We're both occupational therapists and we've both had our personal lives drastically altered by chronic pain, though in different ways. We started this blog as a way to...
- My husband uses amitryptaline for sleep but I someone else I know with fibro recently told me that she tried amitryptaline first and hated it for the morning grogginess that lasted till noon (which is something my husband is experiencing too). She...
- I've been hearing more and more about how symptoms of Lyme disease overlap with fibro, and people with fibro should get tested for Lyme disease. It leaves me wondering: can you get Lyme disease without being bitten by a tick? Or can you be bitten by...
- My husband has started a gofundme to help with legal costs because his long term disability insurance claim for fibro was denied. I'm just wondering if I would be allowed to share the link here, in case anyone is able/willing to help, or even if you...
- Has anybody ever heard of guided motor imagery? It's apparently a brain training method of pain management. Just wondering if anybody knows anything about it or has tried it?
- how do you find the balance...Between having expectations of them and accepting their limitations?Between doing needed things for them and pushing them to do their best?Between having hope for a better future and accepting your new reality?Between...
- Do you notice a difference if you forget to take your antidepressant for one day? I feel like I do. My motivation is worse and I think bitter/negative thoughts and feel like giving up. But it seems crazy that missing one day would mKe that much...
- My husband has fibro and it is very debilitating. It has affected every aspect of our lives and he is always in severe pain and often foggy. If he does one thing (like make a simple supper) he's done for the rest of the night. Sometimes we can't...
- I've always had diarrhea and stomach cramps when I get my period and I always assumed that's just the way it is...I just realized a few days ago that this might not be normal and might be part of my IBS...lol, not sure why it took me so long. I'm 29...
- Totally too much info, but since this is the IBS board I'm thinking anything goes...I'm doing a bowel cleanse tonight, getting ready for a colonoscopy tomorrow. I've heard people talk about how awful the bowel cleanse is and all the diarrhea so I...
- For those who have seen my posts, you know my husband has been severely disabled from fibromyalgia for the past year and I've had to do 95% of everything. Well I just wanted to share that he's finally starting to do more around the house! I don't...
- The past few days, the weather here has stayed more constant than usual, and my husbands fibro symptoms have been so much more controlled than they usually are. He is acting like his old self, before fibro, and it's Amazing! It has me...
