Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Support Community Group
This is a group based on supporting those who have been through the pain of Fibromyalgia &/or CFS & giving them the inspiration they need to keep going. It may be a hard road, but together we can do this!
I have been diagnosed with CFS for many years now but now my doctor is running test to see what kind of autoimmune disease I have I may also have arthristis or lupus or fibromyalgia but something is causing me to have a lot of muscle and joint pain all over and inflammation. I won't go back to my doctor until August so I won't know what my test results are until then. I have a lot of medical problems and I live with the chalenges of mental illness as well. I am here on DS to get support and education and information on my illnesses and to try to make some friends and to improve my quality of life. I have a very positive attitude inspite of all of my problems and challenges. Living with CFS is tough the fatique and low energy is hard to deal with. sometimes I feel like I want to get up and go and my body doesn't want to cooperate.
Yes, and YES!! I just want to do what I want, not what I can ~ so frustrating. I’ve been dealing with severe medical problems since about 1996, and CFS and fibromyalgia since the early 2000’s. It’s amazingly crazy-making. I am having a major CFS flare up right now that is making functioning impossible. I’m a generally “up” person, and all docs who meet me are surprised at how “well I’m holding up”. I guess that’s a point of view issue, because I don’t feel like I’m handling it all that well! I’m just not a naturally depressed or pessimistic person, so I have to admit I keep thinking “tomorrow will be better”. Either I’m stupid or????;). Anyway, just wanted to say “hi”, and wish you well on your journey. If you’d ever like to chat, I’m here.
