Hi sue many here have many other conditions along side fibro but find the fibro is the icing on the cake , it is as my dr says one of the worse condition to deal with and to have other complications on top ,you wonder how you keep going , I found this site a life saver , some of us have become a little unhinged on here but laughter can keep the pain at baye , hope you decide to stay the more the merrier, and if you haven't been on one can I suggest a pain and fatigue clinic , it will help with pacing and exceptence and how to cope with this horrible conditions, we do get silly here but you need a giggle .

Hugs Chris 😊

Hi Craftysue1956

Welcome to the forum and it is wonderful to make your acquaintance. I sincerely hope that you find the forum useful, informative and loads of fun! I have pasted you a link below to our parent site, Fibromyalgia Action UK which rosewine mentioned to you. It hosts loads of useful Fibro information: fmauk.org/

I am so genuinely sorry to read that you have Fibro, and I sincerely hope that you are receiving adequate pain relief / medication from your GP or Medical Specialist? I do not know your personal situation, but FMA UK have a dedicated Benefit Helpline should you need any advice in that department? And they also have loads of other features from 'Fibro Groups' to 'Patient Handbooks.'

I want to genuinely and sincerely wish you all the best of luck and I look forward to seeing you around the forum.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Hi Sue, I am new on here. Went to my GP today and just broke down. Totally had enough. He actually listened and kindly told me that I wasn't dying from some awful illness and that every symptom I told him about was still the FM, which I refused to accept for the past 3 years. I'm hoping that talking to others and being more accepting will provide a glimmer of hope ☺️

Hi. Rachel. The only thing with the FM it brings lots of other elements with it. But don't give up n if u not satisfied c another Dr get 2nd option. Sum drs r very gud n no bout FM n sum drs don't no that much. Everything was put down to my bk problem , but after yrs , then when my neck n wrists started to play up I knew it was not all just down to my other bk problem., but had to keep going bk n forth to drs, then after a while was told got FM aswell. Not there are lots of other thibg S that cum along with the FM. Where do u live? I go to group once wk for FM suffers. Really gud n helpful n learn more all time. So hope u feeling bit brighter. Sending u gentle hugs. Lovely to speak to u on here. Oh n one thing I no u will no. But remember to pace yourself n thing u do. We r all so guilty of when we got a day were u think oh feel not to bad today. Then we over do things. But boy oh boy don't we suffer for long time after it. Take care. Hopefully speak to u again.
