Hi everyone!

Hi everyone, I am new to this group. I suffer with Fibromyalgia amongst other issues and found this site looking for information on Fibromyalgia and work related issues. I am currently off sick and struggling to improve! Linda

Hi LindaPickup 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 struggling at the moment and hope you soon get some relief, I'm glad you found us ☺

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.

Hi and welcome, I gave up work about 4 years ago, it's so hard admitting to not being able to do things, I know I couldn't go back to work at the moment get exhausted just getting up and getting ready, I'm under pain clinic but still struggling to find anything that works, hope you have a good day xx

I found improvement with taking 15ml of apple cider vinegar with mother with 15ml raw honey, half a lemon, and at least 8oz of water.

I drink it first thing in the morning. At first I didn't recognize any difference but after 3/4 months I noticed I want in as much pain. It didn't cure me but it keeps me functional.

I would also say look into juicing/or/blending vegetables, I love how juicing makes me feel.

Stretching/foam rolling helps my tense muscles.

I hope you find some hopeful things so you can keep working.

Good luck. ××

Hello LindaPickup and a warm welcome to our friendly fibro forum where you can get advice, support, help and understanding, along with a giggle or two to lighten the day.

Our mother site fmauk.org is an excellent place to find out about all things fibro, including guides and links.

Have you asked for more flexible hours at work or perhaps a more ergomonic work station? It can be difficult to find a work/life balance, some days it is as much as we can do to get out of bed!

Please feel free to ask Admin and indeed the forum for help and advice.
