- A bit of a doctor rant. I've been his patient since 1990 and since we worked together in the hospital. Well, he is retiring, which is good but I worry about my little dose of methadone for fibro pain that he has let me have (my suggestion as have...
- I am estranged from my son and grandchildren. This is the third incidence and my son has never lashed out at me. He's close to 40 and married to someone with OCD. I am a warm, loving grandparent which my DIL may be jealous of. Her OCD is making my...
- I get newly published research studies on Fibro and CF/ME. Here's one that pissed me off:https://www.storkapp.me/paper/showPaper.php?id=131577435Functional somatic syndrome means it's all psychological. Of course it's from Germany. And last night I...
- Someone tried to recruit me for a PhD study. I am reporting them to DS. Talk about ulterior motives.
- Just a bit more on the friend who ditched me due to the fact that I have a bad case of fibro. (I didn't ask her for anything other than to understand that I don't/can't drive more than 20 minutes at a time due to pain/fatigue and hell of safety...
- Actually it was more like this friend has the inability to love, among other things. But what grabbed me is that she wrote: "you can go to France for three weeks but you can't drive 45 minutes one-way to see me." Yup, as long as I end my day at 3pm...
- Hi, I am almost at the upper limit of pre-diabetes and will have Type II in a year or so. Only possible remedy is to lose some weight (I am a little bit flabby, but not over 25 BMI). Oh, and exercise more.So I did 45 minutes to an hour every day...
- Hi. Here's a description of using a very low dose of endotoxin to test whether fibro patients activate their immune system more than normals. The theory Jared Younger is testing is that the symptoms of fms are due to immune cell...

- This is Jared Younger from Univ of Alabama who was part of the group at Stanford that did the lose-dose naltrexone trial. Interesting plans for 2017!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qvkZAKxpj4&feature=youtu.be
- Meant to respond to the check-in, but I don't have the energy. That's been my problem for a couple of months, perhaps since i moved to this awful apartment. I'm in my 60s but the fatigue associated with fibro is getting worse. I was diagnosed with...
- I get tired after 15 minutes of driving and can't drive at dusk or at night. And I can't always drive every day because I'm flared or fogged up.Since my car is dying, I researched getting another car. The insurance will be $100/month. I'm wondering...
- It's here once again, winter in California. And right on time (2-3 days before the storm), yesterday I started having that specific low barometric pressure type of flare-up. Sharp continuous ache, oh yeah. Extra meds necessary and lying low. It's...
- Plan for Self-Care:Don’t get hyper-involved in any endeavor. Don’t chase after a normal life; it will only turn you crazy. Your mind is very delicate. Soft things, quiet, smooth, gentle, reassuring, nature, not noise.Be home by 5pm and begin to...
