I wish we could take a survey on here with how many people that have fibro also had some kind of arthritis previously...Does Fibromyalgia and Arthritis (any kind) go hand in hand?

Hey
I just moved to Los Angeles from Denmark and are looking to try some new treatment for my Fibromyalgia. In Denmark they don't know much about Fibromyalgia which is why I am excited to try new treatments in LA. Does anyone know a good doctor in Los Angeles who knows about fibromyalgia treatments? Maybe someone who has knowledge about LDN. Has anyone tried LDN and does it work?

Hi everyone I found out I was pregnant 2 weeks ago, I really worried about how I’m going to deal with the pregnancy. I came of all medication once I found out and I’ve been in pain since, not sleeping and just feeling exhausted.

Many thanks xx

I keep reading different and hearing different answers...is Fibromyalgia an inflamation issue? Does it cause it? Is it a result of it?

I have a dumb question:
What do you mean when you say this food increases inflammation?
What inflammation do you mean? Nerve, joints?

I read this word every day in your chats and I don't get it.

I read some months ago that fibro has nothing to do with inflammation.

I found a question and answer on Google that just doesn't make sense to me. First I read that it may be different in different people,, meaning (?} that it could be autoimmune. Then it says Fibro is not autoimmune, which I thought it is. So, here's Google's answer.

Is fibromyalgia autoimmune or neurological?

They may be different in different people. Current research suggests involvement of the nervous system, particularly the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Fibromyalgia is… read more
