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.
Finally, after years of pain, xrays, MRI's and surgery, I went to a doctor who told me that I have fibro. It really makes so much sense, all the symptoms I have. I thought I'd might have had this for a while now, but was scared to bring it up to my doctors.
I don't know much about ways to make it better. I've read some stuff online, but it's always better to hear from people who actually have it.
Thank God that today is a good pain day for me. I haven't been doing much, so I'm not in that much pain. I needed recovery time from last weekend walking around with my friends every day.
Anyone have some advice?

First of all, welcome to this forum. I'm sorry that you have Fibro. Your story of a long time to get diagnosed is a familiar one for many -- myself included. Its definitely helpful to have a name for the condition -- not to mention a relief...I don't know about you, but before I got diagnosed I had started to feel like maybe it was all in my head!
The best advice I can give you is to find a doctor that is knowledgeable about fibro...it will help a lot. Not everything works for everyone, but there are medications, supplements, and dietary changes that have helped a good number of people.
Take care of yourself!
