Living with Fibromyalgia
My name is Tammy Elaine and I am the forum adminstrator as well as the webmaster of the site this forum is part of, The Ultimate Fibromyalgia Resource Center at missionbeachsouth.com. I have had Fibromyalgia for almost 15 years, am disabled by the illness to the point where I suffer cognitive dysfunction and can no longer work. Please register with us, refer our forum and website to anyone who has Fibromyalgia and join in the discussion. Please do not post advertisements for unrelated material or use foul language or you will be banned. Otherwise, everyone's input is welcome and encouraged. I would really like for this forum to be successful and help people, so please spread the word that it is here. Thank you and enjoy the forum!

Residual Income When You Can't Work
Many of us with FM find ourselves in the position where we cannot work any longer and need desperately to supplement our income. I am including information about an online business opportunity to own your own business, earn supplemental income and even get off of disability with this successful business plan.
If you are searching for a way to earn additional income or start your own business, I encourage you to check this out!
After only three months in this business, I am in profit! I look forward to telling SSA to kiss off and once again, supporting myself and earning a good living. Soon, very soon I will be able to do that thanks to this business!
Look Inside for details!
(This is a closed forum. Noone but Admin can post here.)

Disability and Fibromyalgia
As more and more people are diagnosed with Fibromyalgia now that the powers that be have finally decided that it is a REAL illness, many more of us will be filing for disability with the SSA. This Forum is dedicated to the discussion of the process of filing for SSA Disability due to Fibromyalgia. I know you folks are out there so let me hear about your filing experience!

Symptoms of Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia symptoms vary from patient to patient. The symptoms also vary in intensity and frequency. Please share your symptoms with the forum and perhaps you will help someone who needs to hear what you have to share about the symptoms you have, the frequency and intensity.

Getting a Diagnosis
Getting a Fibromyalgia diagnosis is very difficult and can be a frustrating process. Please share your diagnosis process with others. There are people out there who are sick and the doctors can't find anything wrong with them. They need to know how others who have fibro have gone through the diagnosis process and finally developed a treatment program that works for them.

Treatment Protocols
Hi, all. Although the website has an entire page dedicated to available treatment protocols I thought it would be nice for the forum members to post treatments for various symptoms. If it is published protocol, please try to give a reference, ie, a book title, article, media or web address. If it is just something that you have tried and it helps you, then none of the refernce info is necessary. You may know of a treatment that works for you, can pass it along to the other forum members and guests, who (after discussing it with their physician,) may benefit from trying it.
Keep in mind that you should never begin a new medical treatment protocol without first speaking to your doctor. TUFRC is not responsible for the accuraccy/medical value of information posted here nor for any injury caused to persons who implement them into their treatment.

RSDS (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome
Because of the nature of autoimmune disorders they are often misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all. Recently in my research I came across a website about a "syndrome" that I had never heard about, (at least not that I could recall). It is called RSDS or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome. While reading the information on the website at American RSDHope, I began to wonder, "Do I have this too?" (I plan to discuss this with my neurologist at my next visit!) Anyway, in making arrangements to exchange links with the webmaster of American RSDHope, I learned that the gentleman, Keith also has FM. I have invited him to visit the forum and post a topic or two on the subject and I hope that he soon will. Be sure and check back in the future for these topic posts. I am sure you will find them very interesting. The Following excerpt is from the RSDHope Website:
FOUR Main Symptoms/Criteria
There are FOUR Main Symptoms/Criteria for a diagnosis of RSDS: Constant chronic burning pain. Inflammation Spasms-in blood vessels and muscles of the extremities Insomnia/Emotional Disturbance (including limbic system changes)
Do you have it? Hopefully, Keith will be able to enlighten us, as well as arm us with questions we can ask our doctors about RSDS.

Video Room
Recently, I have been working on building another page in the website called "The Video Room", which meant creating another template, finding and adding the videos and getting it all ready to publish. It was rather time consuming so I thought I would also add some on the forum and see if it were any quicker. I like the Video Room being on the site but it never hurts to have more venues. Besides here, you all can post videos that you believe our visitors will bwenefit from seeing. You see, we are all on the very same quest for knowledge about this terrible disease. We have a responsibility to make it easier for others and help them. If you come across a video that you would like to add, please do so.
Please ensure that your video post is on topic, is helpful in nature, and meets the posting criteria.

Fibromyalgia Resource Links
Unlike most forums I do not believe that I have the only fibro related forum or site on the internet. LOL! As a matter of fact, you may find it refreshing that as long as it is topic related I very much appreciate your posting it. If you know of a website or resource not included in my website or forum, please post the URL here with the website name in the title. Our goal here is to help in every way we possibly can and provide every resource available to our members. So, post away, my children! LOL!

SSDI Reform and the FM Vote
Welcome. This forum is dedicated to discussion about SSDI Reform and The Fibromyalgia Vote. More and more of us are being diagnosed with FM/CFS and are being disabled because of it. Meanwhile; up to 2/3 of all SSDI applications are denied and we struggle to survive without income while our case is mired in the SSA system. Reform is desperately needed! As voters, it is critical that we unite and pressure our representatives to introduce legislation calling for additional funding towards finding a cure for this disease. If you are interested in becoming part of this cause, please let us know by posting your comments here. We can either continue to suffer or we can get to work, demanding SSDI Reform. Are you part of the problem or part of the solution. You decide.

Prayer Requests
Fibromyalgia can test the most diligent of christians. It makes us angry, mean to others because of our own frustration and it makes us say bad words too! (If you don't believe me, just read my blog! LOL!) I cannot tell you how many times I have called friends or family and begged them to pray for me. If you have a prayer request please post it here and I will add you to my prayer list. I am sure our other members will too.
*You do not have to be a member to request prayer. Guests may post here as well.
May God Bless!
