A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Port Angeles, WA

The conditions that affect my ability to work include fibromyalgia, an unspecified connective tissue disorder (suspected hEDS), anxiety, and ADHD. I lost my dream job last year. I was able to live on savings for a bit of time while focusing on my art and medical treatment. As of last week I am unemployed with less than $50 in my bank account and not yet on disability. I need to find work ASAP, as I ran out of time to either improve my conditions or get on disability before re-entering the work… read more

Hi everyone does anyone suffer with bladder issues? I am currently having bladder pain (a bit like period pain type pains) I am going for a wee lots but do wee quite a lot each time I go. I have done a dip test on my urine and it's not showing as being over acidic, no discharge either (sorry if that's too much info!) Is this another Fibro thing? I am waiting for a GP appointment.

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
South New Jersey , USA

Hit me with all of them.
Old- new
Finished series or canceled one. Any genre too!

Only loose rule I have is if you happen to know where it is , try and list that too.

So many streaming services and they all now make original shows and movies.

But it's a loose rule, I won't get out ruler and swat your hands or anything if you don't.

Ready, set, go!
