I am new to this, but not new to fibro. I was diagnosed 6 years ago, but have suffered with it longer than that. I also suffer from chronic migraines. These two things do not define who I am, but they are a part of me...does that make sense?

I look forward to getting to know you all.

We are so much more than our condition.

Welcome, azgal...I'm happy you found us, but sorry you have to be here! We look forward to getting to know you.

This group has helped me so much in dealing with the loneliness and suffering of this illness. Everybody here gets it!

Take care...Elizabeth

Thank you for the warm welcome. It will be nice to be able to discuss this without having to explain it over and over again. I have gotten to the point where I tell them to google it so they can better understand it. lol!

Hi!

I'm new to the fibro area of DS as I take a trip over from the RA board but not new to the pain either. Having chronic pain is so hard to describe to people who have not experienced it!

Makes perfect sense and it's so true! We are not our medical conditions - they are just part of our lives. I'm a person not a disease.

Welcome to the group! It is great to talk to people who "get it" without having to explain. Our experiences are all different, but the challenges we live with are very similar.

This a great place for support, good information, and good people.
