Hi michelle56

Welcome to the forum you have come to the right place for information and advice. Hope you'll have a mooch round our Mother site too fibroaction.org where there is a wealth of information regarding firomyalgia as well as all of us here, we're quite a friendly bunch that like to care and share.

If you need answers about, doctors or even medicines, alternative medicines there are sections on the fibroaction site if you hit the link above. You'll also find sections about benefits, up to date research and some info regarding all the categories that are there on the right of the screen which is where you can browse through peoples posts.

The creative corner and comedy corner are quite popular and occasionally we may have a bit of fibro virtual fun

We do have our serious sides too and are here to help and support if we can.

You have come to the right place for information, friendly advise and fun if you feel up to it, we all like to blow off steam whether its with a moan or a giggle so please don't be afraid to join in :)

Looking forward to seeing you around and please don't be afraid to ask any questions that you may have :)

Welcome Michelle56 to our lovely group yes we all suffer from Fibro but we share our problems and make them easier when we can. This site is brilliant it is supported by firstly our mother group which is fibroaction.org and secondly Healthunlocked both give masses of info regarding Fibro.

The site is run volunteers and it is a friendly place to ask questions of fellow sufferers and pass the time of day. most of us believe in a little humor helps the pain go away for a bit so we may seem foolish sometimes but dont worry it is all in the best possible taste!

Have you been suffering pains for a long time and wondering what was wrong with you? This happens a lot and usually knowing you are not alone helps no end. Do ask questions there is always someone about who can help.

looking forward to your posts

Hi michelle, can I join the others in welcoming you to our wonderful site. We are very lucky to have a great group of volunteers and the site users are all very kind and are willing to share experiences and give support as and when needed.

As the others have said we try to have a bit of fun along the route to try and lift our spirits, so do feel free to join in, whether it's to ask for support or to join in one of our sillies :-)

Looking forward to seeing you around the site and send positive healing vibes your way :-)

Hi Michelle,I am new on here too joined about 2 weeks ago. Everyone if fantastic, made me feel welcome and it's nice not to feel alone with this horrible disease. I am still trying to accept my life will not be the same,but to be honest it hasn't been for a long time and in some way it's a relief to have a diagnosis,I felt like a crazy hypochondriac. I have had a good day today which has been great. Speak to you soon. Take care.x

Welcome indeed. It would be silly to repeat all that good stuff above. But yes it's a great site,. Non judgemental, always willing to listen and there's usually someone else awake whatever time you think of one :P

A tad loony too but then endorphins are very good home made medicine.
