Fibromyalgia

Literally: "muscle pain" A diagnosis made in the absence of pathology, i.e. the antithesis of disease. Normally - but not always - presents in older, obese women who are unsuccessful at some aspect of their life - sexual, financial, career. It is a real phenomenon - but it is the somatic expression of depression, not a physical disease. Commonly treated, unfortunatley, by narcotics. Counseling and therapy would be better.

How come your mom's on disability?

She has fibromyalgia, so her best friend is morphine.

Fibromyalgia

A life-sucking, soul-killing disease. You feel sick enough to cancel dinner with your friends, but not sick enough to miss work. Symptoms are similar to the flu: fatigue, body aches, fevers (they come and go) and major brain fog. The symptoms can flair up without warning, which makes planning ahead impossible. No known cures. Pain medication can help, so can yoga, swimming and meditation.

There are several theories as to fibromyalgia's cause, including pollution, aspertame, sick buildings and more. There are several snake-oil "cures" out there; it pays to be cautious.

Last year I was going to the gym five days a week, working all day, attending graduate school at night and taking care of my husband and house. Today I count myself blessed if I can make it through work without a pain pill--all because of fibromyalgia, a disease most people don't believe exists (such as in the prior entry here).

Fibromyalgia

A real disease that way too few people believe exist, especially by the drunk dicks who have nothing better to do than belittle people through this site. I'm 19, I was diagnosed at 17. Every single day I struggle with depression, anxiety, agoraphobia, extreme fatigue, 'fibro fog' and so many other symptoms. I used to be a straight A student and planned to go into neuroscience. Now, my goal more days than not is to be able to actually get up on time for my classes. My grades are now C's when I'm working 10x as hard. This isn't some excuse so that people can just be lazy and do nothing all day, it's real, it's painful, and each day with it is a struggle. So unless you know what it's like to wish you were dead more days than not, don't say that it's just all in my head. Remember karma's a fucking bitch.

Lily: Hey, want to do this thing that you absolutely love?
Sam: I would love to, but I can't even think straight right now because of my Fibromyalgia. Fuck my life.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is codified bitchiness.

As a woman, I can have fibromyalgia, and so can be a ridiculous bitch. As a male, you can't, and don't.

Fibromyalgia

A disease that can be proved by brain scan, for lesions in brain caused by inflammation. Including a suvey of a group of points of pain common in every person with Fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia causes a myriad of problems ( which causes many people to falsely accuse them of being a hypochondriac) widespread pain, inflammation, irritable bowel, debilitating fatigue, also joint, tendon and muscle problems and tightness, nerve issues, hypersensitivity, anxiety, hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism ....etc

Many fibromyalgia patients also say they have good and bad days. Good days they might be able to accomplish more, bad days can be a range of severe joint and body pain to needing to be on bed rest. Many people eventually need to go on disability for being unable to keep up with their lives due to severe fatigue and pain.

Many life altering changes are needed to get some relief for most patients. For some certain clothes may hurt, so a complete wardrobe purchase also not being able to wear yours again. Then finding something to use in its place. This is just one small instance. It will literally change every aspect of someones life. From a ballerina that cant dance anymore to a banker that can't balance their own checkbook from fibro-fog.

Some well known celebrities with Fibromyalgia.
-Morgan Freeman
-Lady Gaga
-Sineado Conner
-Janeane Garofalo
-Susan Flannery
