Hi caravans21 welcome to our wonderful forum ☺ I'm sure you will come to find the forum invaluable in chatting to others who are going through the same experience as you, talking to others at different stages of their lives with Fibro and learning from their experiences.

It does help with the whole process and I wish I had found the site years ago. I have had Fibro for nearly 30 yrs and I'm still learning about it, like we all are.

I'm sorry you are having all these symptoms after chemo, it must be very difficult for you my friend, it's awful enough having to deal with chemo.

Have you seen your gp about your symptoms ? Could it be delayed side effects from the chemo maybe ? You would need to discuss it with your gp because you will have to have numerous blood tests to rule out other conditions because fibromyalgia symptoms mimic a lot of other deseases.

Please do go look at the mother site where you will find all the information you need and lots of useful links on Fibro and I look forward to chatting to you on the forum.

Hello caravans21 and a warm welcome to our friendly fibro forum where you can find advice, support, help and understanding.

Have you been given a definite diagnosis of fibro? There are some medications which may be able to ease your symptoms.

I feel that my own fibro came on after my diagnosis of renal cancer. It was a traumatic time as you know yourself.

The symptoms of fibro tend to vary between different people, some can work full time, others are housebound with poor mobility. Pain and fatigue of differing levels seem to be the biggest problems with most of us, and a flare up of symptoms can last from a day to weeks or longer. It is hard to say how you will be tomorrow or next year even as there are so many variables.

The fmauk.org site will give you more information about fibro.
