IMPORTANT
NOTE
As of
February 24th, 2007 we have migrated our entire site, including the forums
and chat, onto our new servers. You are now on those servers and the only
difference noticeable should be the speed increased immensely. We're experiencing
only two issues, see below:
1.
If you have any problems with logging in with your Username and Password
you will need to delete your cookies. Click
here for instructions on how to delete your Browser Cookies. Thank
you all so very much for your patience and understanding.
2.
Any and all contributions including the creation of Usernames, submissions
of Stories, and Posts on the Forum were lost from February 3rd, 2008 to
the present. Sorry for this we hope the excess speed of the site will
make up for any inconveniences.
The
Mission Of FibroHugs
is to offer a place where persons with Fibromyalgia can find understanding,
knowledge, and support in their daily battle with this painful disease.
To offer support, not only for the patient but also to their loved ones,
in an attempt to help all understand the effects of this illness. It is
also our hope to bring awareness of this disease that a cure will be found.

| My name
is Ken Euteneier and I humbly invite you to our site. Fibrohugs
is a friendly and supportive place where sufferers of Fibromyalgia,
their families and friends, have been coming for tough love, gentle
hugs, and lifelong friendships since 1998. You will learn about
Fibromyalgia, and ways we can help ourselves to fight this horrid
disease. You'll find many supportive people on our
Message Forums with whom you can ask questions, talk
about problems, or just have a friendly shoulder to cry on. Or if
you would like some immediate answers or comfort please know that
you will find that in our Chat
Rooms.
Most of all I know first hand, as I suffer myself, the struggles
that Fibro bestows upon us and I will not add a financial burden
to you. That is why there is no charge for our Newsletter,
access to any areas of our site, and we will do whatever is within
our means to assist you in retaining or regaining your income. We
try our hardest to find legitimate Advertisers and other acceptable
ways to fund this site so that we can offer this much needed resource
to you.

group system and what our commitment is to all sufferers.

Fibromyalgia
pain isn't all in patients' heads, new brain study finds.
June 7, 2002 Click
here
Fibromyalgia
Syndrome (FMS) is often called the "invisible disease," because
outwardly, we may look perfectly healthy. Inside though, we may have intense
pain throughout our bodies, we may be constantly fatigued and weak, we
may be dizzy, confused, lacking sleep, suffering digestive disorders,
and generally living a poor quality of life. There is no known cure for
Fibromyalgia, but there are ways to treat the symptoms, to improve that
quality of life.
FMS is a type of neurotransmitter disorder, in which the pain-signals
that our brains receive are intensified, and our muscles do not get the
healing nutrients they need. The current diagnosis is usually made by
a Rheumatologist who will find 11, or more, "Tender
Points" on your body.
This site is enormous when it comes to the accumulation of information
and knowledge, but is small and cozy when it comes to the personal contact
with new friends that suffer the same effects of Fibromyalgia, like
you. Come here for gentle hugs, tough love, self-help information, and
lifelong friendships. Relax and enjoy.
If you have a loved one that suffers like we do and you can not understand
how they feel, please read "A
Letter To Normal's". Your loved one is fighting a ferocious
inner battle so please give them the support they need, for support and
love are a medicine that will never be conjured up in a lab. If you
would like to talk with others Spouses or Loved Ones of sufferers, please
come to the "Caregivers
Message Forum"
On the other hand, if you have Fibro, this letter may be similar to what
your loved one is going through. "A
Letter To Fibromites". This is from the perspective of
my late wife, Donna, who did not have Fibro, and how she dealt with it,
something that us sufferers need to know and understand. This is truly
an illness that involves the entire Family and the closer you can get
to each other and discuss what you are all feeling, the easier it gets
for you all.
