I am fairly new to the Las Vegas area and need to find a good doctor that understands fibro. I tried one and wasnt very happy, so i am looking forward to hearing some options...thanks!
So the fibromyalgia diet hasn't changed my symptoms at all. I've been on it for 6 months. My dr wants me to try the low carb diet. Less than 20 carbs per day. Has anyone tried the low carb diet? Did it help your symptoms?

Hubby and I are taking my rheumatologist's advice and moving from Seattle to Las Vegas. The barometric pressure is much much more stable there and I understand that I will feel much better there. I am looking for a rheumatologist in the Las Vegas area to take over my care - does anyone out there have any recommendations? We will arrive there later this week. I will also be looking for a pain doc but figure the rheumatologist will be able to refer me. Thanks everyone!
Thanks!
Is anyone here vegan? I have been vegetarian for years and had a few unsuccessful attempts at veganism. The list of things i cant eat is growing so i just wondered if anyone was vegan and could say how it affected fibro. Thanks x
I’m a vegetarian and it’s hard especially when you go out to eat x
Moved to Las Vegas about 9 months ago and was able to keep my Rheumatologist in Maryland, but now she thinks I might need to find one local. I’ve called around but most are no longer taking new patients. So do you know a good Rheumatologist around the area? I’m willing to drive even to California/ Utah/ Arizona. Thanks

I will be watching this documentary on Netflix; however, I wish people would stop telling me that I need to watch it. They are like, if anybody needs to watch it, I do😩 Really? These same people barely check on me and never ask me about fibromyalgia and how I deal with it currently. Have you experienced this?
Hi guys I would say this a year ago I changed the way I eat, no white sugar, processed or meat and I have no pain..take no more meds for pain.

I don't go anywhere to stay overnight cause it wears me out?😊
Hi I am a vege but thinking of going Vegan as have heard stories that this can help does anyone have any thoughts on this?
@A MyFibroTeam Member with all those meds hun, your body can't possibly know whether it's arthur or martha.. I'd be very concerned about how much your symptoms are from the cocktail of meds.. have you… read more
Does anyone have tips for diet changes? I’ve heard things like cutting dairy, gluten, processed foods, etc. I was wondering if anyone has tried anything and if it has worked for you?
There is a few books out there on this very subject. After reading a few and trying to adhere to what was suggested
I decided that what works. For one person doesn't necessarily work for another.… read more
