Any veterans out there?

Just curious about finding some, to see if maybe I could meet other veterans with fibromyalgia and hear their stories. If you're a vet, thanks for serving and please send me a message.

I've had this for 13 years , does that qualify as a veteran. I feel like I'm just learning how to cope and make a difference in my health. read my profile, for story. I am choosing to work with acupuncture currently. Having this lifeline online is a tremendous help. Up until a few days ago there was no one who understood or offered encouragement. I love it. You'll get a lot of support and comfort and you won't be alone anymore.

Awww... thanks for the message! I was actually looking for military veterans, but you put a smile on my face! And wow a big family you have. My mom is your same age, there's only 4 of us, and mom has no grandkids yet. None of us are married either. I guess we're all late bloomers lol.

I forgot to add that I believe my Fibro came from tainted Anthrax shots I took while on Active Duty. Since the shots, my problems gradually got worse. I would love to see if anyone else out there is the same. I need to file the claim with the VA, but when you do, you need to have all your facts straight. Other people claiming the same thing would help my case greatly.
Love,
Dave
