My doctor of 15 yrs just retired. I went to a neurologist yesterday, but was woefully disappointed and downright mad. For $200 he talked to me about 5 minutes and wrote a script for Imitrex, without refills, stating that I needed to return every month and he couldn't prescribe pain meds or antidepressants. WHAT?!?! Can anybody recommend a good doctor that will deal with depression, migraines and pain?

just for my own sanity... How many of you lovely people have lost a job or more than one due to your fibro symptoms?

Hi all! I have heard a lot of mixed reviews in general about how effective acupuncture is. So, I'm curious how effective it has been for any of you with fibro pain, especially during flares. If you have done it, did you apply directly to the pain or elsewhere? How many times did it take to get relief? Was it long-term or short-term relief? Wondering if it's worth the cost. Thanks!

I work full time admin role from home but still finding it difficult

My husband is getting very angry, frustrated, and lately says he is at the end of his rope because I struggle to work full time. (Even though Ive always had $ to contribute, but because I didnt work for it, it didnt count) . Now I ve held a casual/on-call job since October, which is the most employment I have had in 4 years! He no longer believes fibromyalgia is real and says I am lazy and lying. In the beginning he was my biggest supporter...Can anyone relate?

When I was about 22 I did some self searching started to really try to find my self. While I have continued to learn who I am and "find" my self. It's like now I don't know who I am ! I feel like I have lost parts of myself. So does any one else feel like they are trying to find themselves and it's a much harder deeper process? ?!!!!
I am not fibro but who the heck am i!!!??
