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.
and various therapies. I go to 4 a week and that about takes up all the energy I have.
When I do feel less pain, I am too tired to do anything.
Fibromyalgia has taken my life apart to such an extent that when I do have very very brief intervals of having not too much pain or tiredness, I have nothing to do. I have no friends or hobby except watch tv and wile my time away on the computer. I can't do anything else due to pain and fatigue. These moments (of having a tiny break from pain and tiredness but nothing to do) is dispiriting in its own way.
All I can do, as I do when I am in pain and fatigue, is to enjoy the tiny little things around me like watch a hair flow down a drain (I kid you not, I've actually watched one).
I am disabled, can't work and can't go to school. I am 24 years old. I tried to hold a part time job and 8 times out of 10 I had to be forced and consoled by someone to get out the door. My body simply could not take it. I have been like this for the last year and a half and hope this will be over soon.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
Have you found any relief from your various therapies? I am 19, attending school online is the only thing to give me a sense of normalcy in my life, even though I often study in bed.
I wish you the best of luck and pray you find some relief.
You're both so so young to have this beast hanging over you! I was not DX until 46, two years ago. So yeah I'm an old lady lol but I cannot imagine how it must feel to be so young and have everything lost/taken due to Fibro. I hate it at MY age, but I have had my children, raised them up, youngest is 16. Have had jobs, friends, a social life. I am in the same boat though. Weak, tired, in pain, without friends coz they just dont "get it". Do not or can not get out to do anything fun. This isolation is the worst and deepens the depression. I can only suggest (to myself also) that on the FEW days we feel semi-well to get out and do something, anything! Sure we will pay for it but life is not meant to be lived in isolation, sad, lonely etc. We need to go to a library, a cafe, for a walk in the park! Anything where we can interact and not feel so alone. I feel for you young ladies and don't want you feeling this way 20 years from now! Life is to be lived and I know more than most, easier said than done!
Wishing you both more less pain days, some joy & sunshine in what can be an awful boring existence ! Gentle Fibro (hugs), Musta
