Hi,
I, too have Fibro. I was diagnosed in '96 or '97 with what they called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Immune Deficiency Disorder. I'm not sure that Fibromyalgia was even a diagnosis back then. I was diagnosed with Fibro just a few years ago with possible involvement of Lupus and/or Rheumatoid Arthritis along with the Fibro. How long have you been diagnosed?

Does anyone have advice on how to find a fibro support group? My mother in law is in wabasha mn and I'm not really sure how to help her find one in her area. Thanks!

I was diagnosed with fibro 4 years ago... Like many if u, I was being told there's nothing we can find wrong with you. Not giving up I kept searching and finally convinced my doctor to refer me to an arthritis specialist, sure enough with follow ups and bloodwork I was diagnosed with fibro, spinal stenosis,herniated discs, arthritis, floating knee caps(forgot medical term),feet and spines spurs,Tmj,depression and severe anxiety. Bloodwork reviewed inflammation levels were elevated and had to be monitored ! So, if the docs keep telling u there is nothing with u, find another one because no one knows their body better than yourself & we all deserve to be heard, treated, and helped with pain! Gentle Hug and God Bless

Low carb diet work wonders for me too! Unfortunately, my cholesterol has shot through the roof so now I'll have to go back on the Mediterranean diet

I was diagnoised with fibromyalgia about 14 years ago. I tried everything from anti-depressants, anti-inflammatory meds to natural remedies and herbs. At times I would feel so desperate I hated being inside this body. After a couple of years of being inactive because of the pain and being depressed because I couldn't enjoy life the way I use to.I gained alot of weight. I had come to accept that fact that I was going to have to live with the pain because there was nothing I could do about that but I could try to control my weight. I started taking phentermine and to my suprise after the first week I was amazed at how I was feeling. The pain was going away, I was getting my energy back, I was feeling normal again and not down in the dumps. I was able to go dancing again and do activities that I thought I would never be able to do again. I was back!!! I don't know what it is about the phentermine that works but I am living proof. I have been taking phentermine off and on again for the last 12 years. I don't have any bad side effects from it. I am 50 years old and happy with a full life. I do have some rough times when I am not on the phentermine. But I have learned to take control of my life and deal with the discomfort and when it gets too bad I just go to get back on the phentermine. I don't know if anyone else out there with fibromyalgia has tried phentermine but if you haven't I would advise you to give it a try. Just keep a watch on your blood pressure because it can increase it. I am on blood pressure medication but I have been on it for years. If anyone else has had an experience with phentermine could you please send me a message and let me know Thanks. Debbie
