Finally joined up!

[Burda]

Hi I've done it, joined a FMS group. I was diagnosed 5 years ago whilst I was working as a front line police officer . I said it would not stop me working. I had 5 children and that hadn't stopped me working. I made a few adjustments at work ( hated my new role in the police control room) . I fought FMS and lost, and took early retirement 2 years ago. I was advised by the rhumatologist who diagnosed me to join a group but somehow just never got round to it. I hope now I have to get support and to offer my support.

Welcome. I think that you have chosen the best group going for help and support.. We advise and help each other in any way that we can. Although we are not doctors we do have a wide experience in different symptoms and treatments and always advise you to seek medical advice.

This site is much more than just fibro advice it is also more of a club where we can get together. have a moan. a laugh and generally chat about anything at all. We can get quite silly at times but all helps to pass the time and lift our spirits.

As our lovely Gins would say"just pull up a chair and join in"

Hi thanks for the welcome the group sounds like what I miss from working, I love a good moan and to share it as it feels halved then. I love a good laugh and have a very dry sense of humour, I'm sure I'm gonna fit in nicely

Hi welcome it's a brilliant forum you will meet people here who truly understand and put things in perspective ,when sometimes we find things so hard , have you tried a pain and fatigue clinic ,I did one this summer ,after 4 years of being in totally denile that I had any chronic conditions ,my body decided it was not going to work anymore and I was not given a choice ,I found this site by accident and for me it's been the best place in the world for support ,between the two I am now truly getting a life again and I laugh ,keep your chin up ,things do get better xx
