I am in a really bad place right now with my health, and I am just wondering if anybody goes to other support boards re: Spondylitis and/or Fibromyalgia?

Chelle,
I looked at other spondylitis forums before deciding this was the best...
I think you should go ahead and talk about your current health struggles right here; as you can see, there are others who will be able to empathize with your fibromyalgia pains as well.

Hi:) Sorry you're feeling bad. My sisters (2 of 3) and I have all had amazing results from Cymbalta swimming --- which on bad pain days is really more like dog paddling. Ome of my sisters suffers so much with fibromyalgia, and the other one has lupus. I personally like this forum the best, because there's an RA section to supplement the AS topics. Glad you reached out. It makes me feel brave enough to reach out my own self. Peace

Hello Chelle,
Sorry to hear your health is in a bad place, pray things can improve and wish it were better circumstances that you were checking in.
No other sites to offer other than SAA site, but I do not find that site as supportive as Kickas.
Best to you,
Tim
AS may win some battles, but I will win the war.

@ErikaK~ I've heard good things about Cymbalta. Awesome that you and your sisters have found some relief with it. Thank you for the encouragement @Tim~ Thank you so much for the prayers I regret the cirsumstances, too. I have to agree about the SAA site. Guess I keep hoping there's new stuff out there and I just don't know it 
~Chelle

I hope whatever has you in that really bad place with your health right now ebbs and gives you some relief.
I only come here and its a wonder that I ever even got here. I hope if you can't find the info or help you need here or from your DOc's someone gets you a good lead on another way of attacking the problems you are having.
