Yesterday I sent an email to the Wellcome Foundation to see if there is any proper research being done into fibromyalgia. Having read many many stories I feel there are many and varied factors we all have in common.
I am awaiting an answer. I feel very strongly that this is a disease which needs research.

I will keep this site updated on any information I get. If any one wishes yo share their stories and symptoms and possible medications I am going to start gathering information and research this horrendously debilitating illness.

I'm in agony with pain due to the storms rain always causes me pain but it's my hands, neck, right shoulder and right sciatic region that is causing me the most pain. Gentle hugs to you all

Mines bad everyday, although severity does change - storms on Friday seems to have made it worse though

Yes I have an extremely bad shoulder

I shattered my left elbow two years ago. My surgeon told me then that due to the Fibro, I Would experience more pain. What I've noticed is more neuropathic pain in that elbow that expands and decreases at different times. I use lemongrass essential oils on that elbow and when I do,most of pain and sensitivity decreases over time. I also look at what may be going on in my life at that time. Since the elbow represents flexibility, and since it's my left elbow representing receiving the good in life, I look to see what I may be resisting. It does help and combined with essential oils and energy work, I do get relief of most symptoms . At this time, no medications have helped me with my elbow, but the natural remedies do.
