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.
Or maybe a big one. Yesterday at my brother's wedding and reception, I suffered the LEAST amount of pain I'd had in years! I guess I was having such a good time, there was no room for pain. Connie and I were seated at a table with Kevin's neighbors whom we had met before and really liked. So, no strangers for me to be anxious about.
And I've decided not to be embarrassed by the fact that I was tripping over my words all night. To me, it sounded like I'd developed some sort of speech impediment -- I seemed to be stuttering all night. I'm from New York City and people there talk fast. Even though I've been out of NY for 15 years, I still talk fast. It was never a problem before but now I really have to practice slowing down. My brain works differently now. But I really don't believe anybody cared about that. The place was so full of love.
It was great to see my brother so happy. For whatever reasons, even after sitting in an uncomfortable chair for 2 hours, I was really fine, pain-wise.
Now, today is a different story. The pain woke me up at 4:30 and I haven't had much sleep since then. But it is totally worth it! I'm so glad I trusted that I would be okay. I actually felt spiritually 'taken care of' yesterday. A wonderful feeling.
Without this board I don't think things would've gone so well. Thank you all for the advice and encouragement.

Glad you had a good time!
That is so wonderful! :-)
Rest and take it easy now. Congrats to your Brother.
I am so glad you were able to attend his Wedding!
