New to group

[kimzie]

hi my name is kimzie,

im new to the group I've had fibromyalgia since 1999. I also have pernicious anaemia. I'm 50yrs old and I'm a health care assistant working 12hr shifts in a nursing home.

Hi kimzie welcome to the forum, I'm sure you will love it as we all do ☺

I have had it for about that long also. I also used to work for nursing agencies, so we have something in common. I know how hard that can be without having Fibro. It used to nearly kill me.

You should go check out the main site where you will find lots of info on Fibro & some useful links.

Look forward to chatting with you.

Peace, luv n light

hi 🙋 Jan,

nice meeting you and thankyou for your welcome. Hope you're having a lovely weekend. Where are you..? I'm in Edinburgh

luv, peace, light and gentle hugs x

[Janet28 in reply to kimzie]

Ahh Scotland, never been to Edinburgh, It's somewhere I would like to visit though, my parents have been a couple of times & loved it. My mum even bought us kilts back.

I'm probably the furthest away from you that I possibly could be lol..I'm in South Devon, on the coast, its beautiful, I'm 5 mins from beach ☺☺☺

Hugs straight back 🙇 x

[kimzie in reply to Janet28]

wow... Haha.. I've always dreamed of visiting Devon, and so jealous you're 5 mins from the beach. I love the beach. We have a beach in Edinburgh too called Portobello. X

[Janet28 in reply to kimzie]

Oh I never knew there was a beach in Edinburgh, I'm shocked lol..had to go look at it on Google, really nice beach as well. What a lovely name Portobello xx

Hi Kimsie i dont really know when my fibro started it just gradually built up over the years. I do know that it was at least 30 yrs ago. Half of my life. I never thought of it like that before.

Oh and i am in the middle of you and Janet28 im near Brum.

Welcome to the site.

[Janet28 in reply to Hidden]

Hi Hidden yes I know what you mean, it does build up over time. Mine started not long after I had a hysterectomy. I was very ill & had lots of antibiotics.

I know 30 yrs is a long time to be in pain my friend. I know brum well, i lived in Northampton for many years & 2 of my daughters still live there. Xx

[Hidden in reply to Janet28]

I avoid brum even though it is just a bus ride away. I used to like the German xmas market until fatigue stopped me walking.

I do use a powered wheel chair but the hassle of getting there just to see peoples bums, its just not worth it.

[kimzie in reply to Hidden]

nice meeting you mayrose54 and thankyou for your welcome 😊 x

[Flyby7]

Hello kimzie

Welcome to the forum It's lovely to meet you.

Even though you have had Fibro for such a long time (I was diagnosed in 1980) you will still find that you will learn so much more here on the forum.

Have a look at our mother site fmauk.org

The forum tends to be a little quieter over the weekends but you will find it busier during the week.

You might like to look into locking your posts. Here is a link to explain how to do this:

I look forward to getting to know you better.

Wishing you less pain and more peace
