Im 40 and suffer from Fibro,ME,Epilepsy and most recently type2 diabetes....just seeing a chink o of light after what has been a horrendous past few weeks of flare ups And minor surgery that highlighted a blood sugar of 31 in pre-op medical checks and a nasty kidney/urine infection that all made a mixture of 3wks in bed feeling the worst i have ever felt since my health took a turn for the worse aged 26 and being diagnosed with fibro ...The epilepsy made a surprise apperance at 32 with never having suffered a 'dizzy spell' in my puff really turned my life upside down when i was only just getting somewere medication and pain managed wise for fibro!! All typos are my own as i cant stand predictive text as much as Fibromyalgia!!! Keep good all and im intending on making many more posts/replies on here instead of just peeking in for a nosey....πŸ™‹β˜Ί

Thanks for the advice...Getting some sleep is my biggest issue outwith the pain&flares..It seems to be the one thing that all fibro sufferers experience often

That's good to hear! The not just popping in for a nosey bit lol. The medical delights are not good to hear. But as you will no doubt have gleaned, most of us have a cocktail of medical conditions. We have a variety of ages among the forum members.

You will be given the official welcome by one of the volunteer admin members when they are able. Please remember that they are just like the rest of us and have problems too so if you can be patient that would be appreciated.

Look forward to hearing more from you 🐸

Take care of yourself and I look forward to reading your posts in the future πŸ‘πŸ˜Š
