Hi everyone, :)

I am down and have been struggling with a huge lack of support and I was told that this was a great place to get support and encouragement. As well as a place that has lots of ideas for brainstorming what may help each other out.

If this is not the place - please direct me in the right place.

Thanks, :)

You absolutely picked the best place to come for help. This group is amazing and provides me with so much daily help. I'm glad you came to the right place. We all started at different times in our lives. I started at age 30 right after having my twin girls. How long have you struggled?

Hello! welcome! six years here has beat the previous fourteen with FM by far. I a here every day, and it is such a relief to just discuss the yick and not be told I am whining or weak etc.! I think the sharing is as good as any medication, really, because who else gets what we mean by "fibro pain, not regular pain"?

a lot of us have read or own Fibro for Dummies as a useful resource for us, our families, and I like to i,agine myself beating a few doctors on the head with it, too, It has been this boards go to since I came here way back when.

Sorry for typos, on my ipad. Glad to meet you, feel free to ask, whine, moan, ponder, suggest, chat, etc. Checkin has been here longer yhan I have, and we often use it as a sort of informal daily vent, report, support, etc., "center". We share ideas, stories, worries, you name it.
