It looks like the last posts are at least a month old. I'm struggling badly with fibro and ME, and need to talk to people who know what I feel.

Sorry Crazycatladies, I'm a sporadic poster because I'm just such a wreck half the time from trying to "survive" at work and look after my two kids....whenever I have a free minute I fall asleep! I'm sure many here can empathise with this. If you need to chat on here give it a try - sorry if you don't get a response straight away but myself and others will read and understand and try and give our support.

Thank you! I completely understand. I tend to seek people out when I'm really struggling, and then sink back into my tiny little world when it gets a little better.

Hi there, I started here, but migrated to the UK site as it's better populated. Its CFS/ME and Fibromyalgia.

Try Fibromyalgia Action UK, Its the one most of us end up at.

Hi 🙋 there. Sorry to hear that you're struggling so much at present. Is there a specific reason for this? Overdoing things or extra stress? Both of these can trigger extra exhaustion that leads to a crash. Have you got the energy to read Sarah myhills book on CFS? It would be worth having a look. Have you had your vit D B12 magnesium and thyroid checked recently? Is your sleep affected badly? Little things that can effect how you feel. Being stressed impacts greatly on m.e so there are supplements that can help with this. GABA l theanine chamomile are the 3 is use but always check with your doctor if taking medication. Not sure if any of this is of any use to you but am too exhausted to offer anything else at present. Hope you soon improve. Wishing you well. Karen Lynne

Do you suffer from a terrible flu like/weekness in your whole body? I was diagnosed with fibro about 3 years ago. Makes me feel like there could be something additionally wrong. Have had severe anxiety attacks and depression for years. Also i here about b12 tests do u know exactly what that is about? Could u enlighten me also on what ME is i notice people talk about it alot. Thankyou for any advise
