“Living With Fibromyalgia” is the first feature-length film about fibromyalgia, providing an honest, personal, and practical look at how to live with this chronic pain condition through profiles of seven patients and interviews with fibromyalgia experts. It’s told by the daughter of a fibromyalgia patient. It has been called a “milestone” for the fibromyalgia community and a “must-see” for fibromyalgia patients and those who love them by the President of the National Fibromyalgia ociation, Lynne Matallana.

THANK YOU SUSIE …
THANK YOU SUSIE People who believe the way Irish does is why this doesn’t get the PROPER research. A bunch of small minded ego jerks that think they know everything are in a position to try and discredit approx 20 million people. In the beginning I bet people with hiv were also told that it wasn’t real, or people with Severe Depression were told they caused there own problems. Thank G-d that there are people who DON’T listen to guys like this and figure out the real cause, despite the idiots.

My chiropractor has …
My chiropractor has almost cured me of fibro. It was due to pinched nerves in my spine that showed on x-rays, you just have to go to someone who has experience with actually reading them! Hope this advice helps! Oh yeah and don’t say u have already had x- rays and the doctor did not find anything because you need to keep trying and pushing past the obstacles like I did. I could barely walk then, now I can run full speed!

I also have …
I also have Fibromyalgia. Yes it is bad. I’d love to see these non believers who think it’s all in our heads to have it. Just remember when you have the flu and you feel awful and you hurt all over., It’s like that but 24/7 I had to quit work after 26 years because I got it after some B**** ran into my car going 75mph in a 45mph zone.

Fibromyalgia Network has some wristbands that say” FIBROMYALGIA-IT’S REAL. They are purple. Amd a couple of other things you can buy. I have one of the wristbands. They are very inexpensive and are good quality.

Songstress, I learned a long time ago (I’ve had FM 17 yrs)) that our energy is TOO PRECIOUS to waste giving it to naysayers.
You are too important, keeping your stress low is too important, to listen to someone with no credentials who says such hateful things! The best thing we all with FM can do is support each other, and be as positive as we can!
Hang in guys! FM is real, but it need’nt define who you are. You are God’s creation, and He “don’t” make junk!

The percentage that …
The percentage that any nerve impulses going to any part in the body ,that is interrupted is the same percentage of brain activity. Upper cervical specific doctors can help, go to( up c spine ). in other words fibromyalgia can be caused by a nervous system that is not working right. Everyone should know about this.
Avoid Diversified and full body chiropractors and mixers.

Irish since you are a(self-proclaimed) researcher maybe you should check out the research on substance p and broaden your horizons.By the way just because an article was published doesn’t make it accurate.G-d forbid someone you know and love that has this and doesn’t go into remission maybe you will get it and understand that people need compassion.If your research was right and this was all in my head and you suggested to get over it, what would that make you.A DONKEY!

wtf dude? i didnt even reply to you. and your research..who the would let you do research? dont talk about my boyfriend..hes more man that you will ever be. and get your little insecurities figured out, because i happen to be 5′8 and 125 lbs. but yea..i guess that makes me overweight. right. and..um..in your research..you might have also found out that fibro is a genetic disorder, and that parents can pass it down to their kids.

Dear (since …
Dear (since you want to go the name calling route!) My comments are right on! My research has shown that it is a mental problem. Why would you make that up? I don’t know you, but if I were able to watch your daily activity, I would come up with the answer. I would guess you are overweight and your boyfriend probably doesn’t treat you very well.

dear ,
your such a cruel and insensitive jerk! no ones trying to make you understand and have sympathy, but have some compassion for gods sakes! iam 17 years old, ive got a great family, great friends, a great boyfriend. nothing is wrong with or my psyche..and guess what? i was just diagnosed with this crippling disease 2 days ago. i wont be able to play any sports next year, or enjoy my senior year. i cant sleep because the pain is so bad, why on earth would i make all that up?

Bite your ? …
Bite your ? Don’t you have enough “pain”? Get some psychological help. And as far as the redneck comment.. You have a filthier mouth than any redneck I’ve ever met.
October 4th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
I have had this for …
I have had this for over ten years … and a completely redneck comment to you is bite my …. everyone else please forgive the harsh language but its people like this idiot that has made my struggle so difficult. How dare you say to anyone that there pain is not real that they are in unfulfilled relationships… So what you are saying is because you have done research that that makes you informed. Live my life for one day and tell me its fake.
your a donkey

How dare you tell …
How dare you tell me I’m uninformed! I have been doing research on this at the University of Colorado Medical Center. There are only symptoms and NO signs that prove FM exists. Many patients who have undergone extensive Psycholgical testing showed ANY significant improvement. It turns out that 99% of all FM sufferers are Female in unfulfilled reltionships seeking attention until finally they found a DISEASE. Just like Munchausens, and the people who dig “fibers” from their arms. Get it staight!
October 4th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
You are uninformed. …
You are uninformed. I have an HMO insurance. There is no way they would pay for treatment of a “fake disease.” The University of Michigan has a treatment program for this condition. Comments like yours represent very old, ignorant attitudes. Maybe diabetes is all in people’s heads too. Do some research on legit sites.

Pretty much proven to be a fake disease. Usually affects women who want attention. (the Oprah crowd if you will.) I have a friend who was diagnosed with this nonsense and gave her the talk. Get over it, get a life and it will go away… Guess what? She’s fine now. The cure? realize it’s fake, get a life and get over it… Works everytime.

Was it had to get your Doctor to get you set up with medical marijuana? I have hear other Fibro suffers talk about it as well.

I need help.
I’m 59. My life has been radically changed by fibromyalgia: pain, short term memory loss, lack of energy, weight gain, waking up from pain, difficulty sleeping without prescriptions.
My husband is ill, unable to grasp “brain fog” is abusive verbally and causing great additional stress.
Accupuncture helped the pain.
I’ll switch to veg’t. asap.
Let’s share what we’ve learned.

KImberly,
Are you …
KImberly,
Are you aware that eating raw food will alleviate the symptoms and help you get more energy? I was a bodybulider, I can understand your frustration. Since I switched to raw food (there’s 5 weeks ago), I don’t have pain anymore and I have a lot of energy, it is amazing! I used to have pain everyday and fibrofog too!
Hope that helps,
Karine
