I have had Fibromyalgia for 8 years now, and because my husband is in the military we move around alot and I still have to deal with Doctor's that don't believe that this exists. My last doctor tried to make it seem like some made up illness. I hate going to the doctor's office and it ticks me off that some of these doctor's act like I have nothing else better to do than to complain about some made up disorder. I have the worst pains in my back everyday, I always feel like I have been hit by a truck in the mornings, I am so severly depressed it's pathetic. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or better yet anyone have Fibro and lives in San Diego and know of a great Rhuematologist? I am new to San Diego and don't know any here that can give me the help I need........I had a great one in Illinois

Compared to something like AIDS is obviously not that bad...

People say it's no big deal, everyone gets it...but I'm not sure

Where does this leave men? Shouldn't men be able to get the vaccine also? Especially since the news today about HPV causing throat cancer.

About a month ago, my now 4 month old daughter's neck crease area and armpits were really red,raw looking and moist. I took her to her doctor who prescribed an antifungal cream. It worked right away. A few weeks later it came back. He has now prescribed hyrdocortisone cream and she has been on it since Monday and it hasn't helped. I know this is very common and was wondering if anyone has had this happen. What did you do?
Thanks!
