Were You Given Tests Prior To Diagnosis?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was told 2 days ago that I have Fibro by a rhumatologist. My issue is that they looked a questionaire I filled in and went off of that.

Mental Health: How Are You Feeling About The Focus On Long Covid?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I hear a lot about long covid and how many people have had an extremely full and healthy life up until having COVID. It would be nice to hear on mainstream media to hear how Fibromyalgia is as, if not more, debilitating as long COVID.

2. Those who think that it is completely different and maybe… read more

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am not sure that paxil is helping me as I do have emotional down days -- it seems that my physical pain and my emotional pain go together.
