Fibromyalgia Support Group
You're not alone in your pain. Fibromyalgia is a condition that can be difficult to diagnose and manage. If you're trying to cope with pain throughout your body, sleep problems, general fatigue, or other common fibromyalgia symptoms, you're in the right place. The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
I am new to this group, and just wanted to say hello to everyone. I am hoping to make some new friends and learn some new ways to cope. I've learned that people who have never had an illness like Fibromyalgia or CFS (I have both) do not understand what it's like to look perfectly fine and healthy on the outside but be weak and feel miserable on the inside. It is something I struggle with almost daily. I need friends to talk to who understand, maybe in time my loved ones will understand.
It helps to have support from people who understand how it is.
Family and friends may never quite "get it" but maybe in time they will become more understanding and try to be more supportive.
Welcome to the group.
You have found a wonderful place with wonderful people. This has been a life-saver for me.
Welcome and let us know how we can help - or you can just vent and we will listen.
Take Care, Dawn
