Hi all,
Just popping in to say Hi and introduce myself. I've had chronic pain for many years, but have just recently been diagnosed with FM. I'm a little ambivalent aboout it. On one hand I'm glad to finally have a name for all my symptoms and on the other it sux to have a "syndrome" that I will probably have to deal with for the rest of my life.
I love positive people and I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Doing the best I can, One day at a time,
Bobbi AKA Brae

Hi all! I'm new too. I guess many more fibros are getting diagnosed so it's seems like here we can share our pain and ups and downs. I was diagnosed about 15 yrs. ago, am taking pain meds that seems to take the edge off a little. Keep all my thoughts.

Welcome Bobbi. Finally getting diagnosed can be a double edged dilemma - happy to not feel so crazy about the pain, but worried about the future. The more you know about it though then the better off you are. I think so anyway. We are a supportive bunch who collectively know everything there is to know about FM!
