Intro, getting diagnosed
I began having random mysterious pain in various places in my body about 3 years ago that didn't come from exercise. The pain lasted off and on for 18 months then stopped for a whole year when I began drinking wine several times a week with dinner. After that one year period I decided I wanted to lose some weight and…
introduction, looking for Fibro MFP friends
Hello all! I have fibromyalgia, work full time in a prison, have 3 small kids, still nurse one of them, and am also working on this journey of weight loss.

Medication you're on?
Hello Everybody :bigsmile: I think it would be interesting to share here which medication are you, fibromites and company, taking at the moment and if they're doing any good effect on you. Please do tell also former medicines that you've been taken but didn't work and the reasons. I know it may sound weird my request but…
Intro...New to board & MFP

fibromyalgia blood test
Has anyone had the fibromyalgia blood test? I just got the results of my FM/a test today and it confirmed that I do indeed have fribro. It said that a level of 51 is the cut off, and I was 57. I have no idea what these numbers mean exactly, though I guess they refer to some immunologic markers. I'm just starting my…
