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.
Hi Folks!
You may or may not know me, but my name is Jesse and I work here at DailyStrength. I'm writing to let you know that we're looking to add a Community Leader to the Fibromyalgia Support Group -- so we'd like to know if you want to become one!
In case you're not already familiar with what Community Leaders do, they're vibrant members who volunteer to greet new folks to the group, offer positive and constructive advice in discussion posts, and help steer negative topics back on track (and occasionally close a clearly abusive discussion post, which is very rare in this group). You can learn more by clicking here:

If you have any questions or are interested in becoming a volunteer CL, please send me a private message with the subject heading of "CL for Fibromyalgia". DS staff will then review the candidates.
To be considered for the role of a CL, we'd like to ask that you:
1. Be okay with having a profile privacy setting of either "Everybody" or "DS Members". That way new members can greet you back!
2. Have not received prior warnings from DS for violations of the Rules of the Road.
3. Have been an active member of the Fibromyalgia support group for at least six months.
I'll leave this post up for a few days, and I might bump it up every once and a while so it stays on the main page.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. :)

Hello- I am new to the group
-
My therapist really knocked some sense into me last Friday about my spending. She said that there are needs and there are wants. She said that there is always going to be cheap stuff to buy, but do I need it? The answer is mostly "no". So today, I am taking back some things that I bought online at Kohl's, namely a 9 x 12 rug and a quilt for my bed. I also bought sheets that I don't need...
I have been a member since 2006, first under my real name and then under this name.
Good luck!!
Jesse is the one who posted the original request.
I again, a bump is just a way of moving a post to the top of the board. Each time a person posts a response, the post moves back to the top of the board.
If a person really does not have anything to add to their post, but wants others to see it, you can just type in bump, and it will go back to the top
