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 was just diagnosed yesterday with Fibromyalgia. I'm looking for people like me. I do have support from my friends and family but known of them can quite understand what I'm going through. I was in a car accident in January and that is what began the roller coaster of problems. Ever since January I've felt like I've lost the person I used to be and that maybe I'll never get her back. It's like I'm just a shell of the person I used to be. My husband tries to be supportive and understanding but at times I feel like he just doesn't get what I'm going through. Ever since my pain began I've become a hermet. I only leave the house to go to work or family functions I can't get out of. I dropped out of my bowling league and now my life just feels empty. I sit around watching TV or playing on my laptop. I just don't want to do anything anymore. Why can't I just be normal?

I agree with DakotaRose grieve your old life but find and embrace your new one. Believe it or not there are good things. The one for me is that it has made me slow down and appreciate things more. Like my grandkids, hubby, the changing leaves etc,..
find the good things and dwell on them when you really just want to quit.

I am the driver of my life.
Fibromyalgia glommed on to me.
I put it in the back seat and buckled it there.
Sometimes, it kicks the back of my seat
or pulls my hair,
wanting attention, so
I pull over and deal with it.
Then, I get back on the road
and am on my way
again.
Sometimes I get lost
or forget where Im going.
This is where my Faith
comes in handy.
Its my GPS system.
Look forward from hearing from you. BEEGE
Bonnie is right....you will grieve what you have lost, but you still have a life. A different one, that acknowledges and eventually accepts and deals with fibro. But our lives are still very full! Take some time to find what works for you....exercise, meds, diet, etc. Things will get better!
