Fibromyalgia

Prayers for my son please
Could you pray for Drew my son. He is having financial problems with no medical insurance. He had a contact lens slip in his eye. It has scratched his eye, it is still in there somewhere. He can't get it out. He finally borrowed money to go into Drs and they say it is all in his head. But Stacy his girlfrie... 22 Oct 2005 17:13

I'm Going To Roast A Turkey!!
I haven't had an oven since May. My oven crapped out and we couldn't afford to get it fixed, so I've (we've) been cooking on the stovetop, microwave and/or barbeque for the past five months or more. It's been a challenge (understatement). Clancy's boss's wife takes me to exercise class. It's really just her, ... 10 Oct 2005 19:07

I need a sympathetic rhuematologist in Detroit Area
I am suffering from severe fibromyalgia and am in the process of appealing a denial from social security. My docor recognizes that I am impaired but doesn't think I have fibromyalgia.

Greetings from a new member
Hello to all who share my pain! I've been looking for something, a group online, anything because I'm so isolated. And here you are! I found you by doing a Google search for groups, but also set up a Google alert for any news on FmS/CFS. I've been on disability since 1997; sick since '96 after a car accident. I... 9 Oct 2005 22:48

The suffering no one wants to know about
I go to doctors with my fibromyalgia and my weight problem and not a single one of them has any idea even where to start. I feel totally abandoned with this problem. I just cannot get along with any doctors or find one who has any good ideas about what I could do to feel better. They even tend to make me feel e... 9 Oct 2005 22:48

featherbeds?
Has anybody here tried a featherbed? I'd be very interested in your experiences with it. My bed is way too firm and it makes my pain worse. I've been looking at featherbeds that are about 6 inches thick and contain a mixture of down and feathers. I've already tried Tempur-Pedic and had a terrible time with ... 16 Oct 2005 09:33

numbness
Anyone have any numbness in their hands at night? I wake up and the last two digits of both hands (usually) are numb...this is my little finger and ring finger, along with that half of my hand down to the wrist. Sometimes, I have an area that goes numb right above my elbow (before what I think is my deltoid muscle)... 7 Oct 2005 19:52
