Close Fibromyalgia

I have suffered pain for several years now.It has effected every aspect of my life.I feel like I have no one who really understands me and the effects of Fibromyalgia are massive.I cry alot..I don't even really understand it no matter what I research about it..I really want to talk with people who really understand how it feels,someone to relate to.
