Welcome, Misty!

Well, Pilgrim, you might just be a candidate for our dubious "Honor Roll." It's an Honor to be a member here, it's a nice bunch of folks, but the reasons kinda suck, if you get my drift....

I guess I need to read more of the older messages that drift back to the top! A belated welcome to all you new folks! Sorry I missed you when you first signed in. I hate to make your acquaintance under these circumstances but it looks like you found us in time. You haven't gone off the deep end yet!

You'd be surprised at some of the sympotems some of us come up with. Some times we all have them and sometimes we don't. Some of them are strange and some of them aren't....

Hello Hope. Sorry to hear you have had to join the ranks of those of us with FMS, but glad you found this website.
I don't get numbness, however, sometimes my scalp will tingle. Other times my tongue will burn. Now the tongue could be because I am a smoker, who knows. The scalp thing I always figures was the sensory issues that come with FMS or the scoliosis. As for my fibro fog, I tend to forget names of people, get lost often, forget names for common household items, and feel...

Thanks Shirley!

I have been to so many doctors and the rhumatologist confirmed fibro, the neurologist stated I probably will never work a full time job ever again and maybe never work again...

I in the process of SSI/SSD the SSI has benn approved thank God!!!

I however have to go to a psychiatrist for a Mental exam for the SSD office...

It looks like you have gone through the procedure the Dr's do to eliminate all of the other causes . Fibro acts so different for many people.
It's good to continue to test until everthing is covered and then when you...

Hi Joy

I wanted to say welcome to Clouds. Hope you will join us and feel free to ask questions or add your input.

I also have migraines and sometimes I will get one without head pain, but have my left side of my face go numb and have the ocular aura, in which I see weird rainbow squiggles in my vision. When that happens, it generally only lasts about 30 min. Unfortunately, when I DO...

Hi, my doctor just recently told me he thinks I have fibromyalgia. I have gone thru lots of tests and nothing shows up for the cause of body pains, etc. he wanted me to go see a rheumatologist for it or the diagnosis but they won't see me because they say they don't see fibromyalgia patients and I am currently waiting for 2 days again for a phone call to have me go see the right doctor. Meanwhile I feel alone and I am scared. My symptoms do match up...

Hi Hope and welcome to one of the most supportive groups you will ever meet. Sorry you had to find us due to FM but glad you did. I would have the doctor check for nerve damage because of some of your symptoms.

My Fibro Fog is most the time like the others. Had an incident one day that really shocked me. I had stopped at a stop sign that I knew was there but sat in the car and was waiting for 'the light to change' until someone honked at me. Other times I will forget...

I dunno about a rheumy, I went to a Neuro dr. Fibro fog? I, um, can't remember... At least I used to be able to laugh and use the great Simpsons line "THing... for.. digging.. food!" Isn't aphasia wonderful! Add to it hubby's hard of hearing, and our conversations range from weird ot annoying! Oh, and see that? Typing dyslexia! Do I have the energy to go back and fix it? Depends...

Everyone has unique fibro symptoms, but there are enough similarities to show...

Welcome Hope,

Sorry we are meeting under these circumstances. I hope all goes well with your doc appt. I hope they can diagnose you properly. It took me many years to be diagnosed & boy I really suffered. My fog is sometimes I cannot concentrate, a little blurred vision if I am reading & I can't remember if I did something a second ago & have to always double check myself because I don't trust my crummy memory! I hope they can address your issues & you are...

Hi Hope,

It is so good to see you here with us...and I hope you stick around and join our family. We need a Hope among us!

Your description of Fibro Fog doesn't match mine. I don't have any physical symptoms with the Fog...it simply makes it hard to focus, hard to think, and when I have it bad enough, I can't get any words out. I can be thinking of what I want to say, but for some reason the words will not fall out of my mouth. It is as if my brain has gone on...

Way to go Shirley on those graphics!!! I couldn't have said that any better either.
I really did like your input and the graphics to help the people still figuring this out.

Hi, Hope and I'm sad and glad to see you here. Glad to see you found us, but sad to see you need us. I'm one of the guys that are stuck with this horrible mess. Yeah, we get it too, usually not as many of us as you ladies, but when we do we usually get it as bad or nearly so. How do you tell who hurts the worst?

My fog is just that. Fog. My whole day kind of dims out. It's like walking through thick fog. I really don't remember much about the times when the fog slips...

Hi again.

This is a picture of where the tender points of Fibro are located. Maybe this will help you better understand some of the pain you are having if you do have Fibro.
