Hi Ladylucan

Welcome to the forum and it is wonderful to make your acquaintance. I have pasted for you below a link to our mother site, FMA UK which hosts loads of useful Fibro information:

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck, and please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hi there Ladylucan and welcome to the Fibro. site.

I don't post often, unless of course I can help but am on here most days reading posts.

Everyone here are very friendly, helpful, kind, (sorry fibro fog, am unable to think of other words!!). What I'm trying to say is, this is the best site for fibro and other conditions, as the majority of us have other medical problems, often connected to fibro but not always.

Welcome again and hope you enjoy.

Gentle hugs.

Welcome Ladylucan, most everyone here will try to help you, whether you need some advice or information, or just want to chat. I'm new here, too, and find the group to be delightful. I'm living in the U.S. and recently was saddened to see mean & hurtful behavior on another support group site that I was participating in. It's wonderful that this group knows the true meaning of "support group!"

Hi there Ladylucan. Welcome to the site. I've not been here too long myself. It's a great place for support and sharing info about Fibro or just to talk generally.

Wishing you a pleasant Sunday.

Hi there

I can see that our Ken TheAuthor has given you the link for our mother site, so I will just say hello and welcome.

Please could I ask you to have a quick glance through our Rules & Guidelines so that you are familiar with them?

They are on the right of your screen in blue under Pinned Posts.

I very much hope you enjoy the forum.

Hi Ladylucan, you have joined a most friendly and helpful site and will get all the support you need here. I am in a similar situation as yourself and suffer with fibro, athritis scoliosis and currently waiting for Doctors to decided what to do with my other back problems. I would welcome an operation, if that's what it takes to get me "upright" and able to walk. Everyone is so nice on here and you will always have somebody to talk to when you feel low, or need advice. I hope you are feeling as well as you can be today and hope that you find all the answers you need from the site and its' members. Take care xx
