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.
I came here for help and support. And yes, I admit it, I also came here to whine and rant.
What I found was more amazing that I ever imagined. And to think, I kept ignoring this site when it popped up in my original searches for divorce support groups. Yes I said divorce. That's why I originally came here. Once I checked it out and found the fibro community, it was the first one I joined!
What I found were wonderful people, interesting topics and some new good friends. I have received love, friendship, and support beyond belief.
Today I realized something and surprised me. When I offer support to others it helps me feel better. What I say to others reminds me that I need to follow my own "advice." It makes me more aware. It beginning to have a healing & soothing affect on my mind, soul, spirit and maybe eventually (hope, hope) even my body.
I began offering support b/c I want to be helpful to others. I want to make a tiny difference. I just didn't expect this added bonus. I have tried (and will continue) to be supportive because I want to PAY IT FORWARD.
I am so grateful for DS and EVERYONE here. There is much to be learned and shared and my life is 100% better for having found you.
LOVE & GENTLE HUGS TO ALL!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I often wonder if Doug and others who started this site knew it would be this good and helpful to so many people.
I love it here and all of you !!
