Hi, I'm sorry to hear you're suffering. It's pretty impressive how quickly you've been diagnosed though! Nobody wants to find out they've got such a horrible condition but there are some medications you can try, as well as some strategies you might find helpful. It's a great first step joining this group, you can get support and advice, we all understand what you're going through. Have a bit of a look around on here at what people have posted, as well as other groups and sites that are full of helpful advice and ideas that might help you. You probably already know there's no cure for fibromyalgia but we're all individuals and respond to treatments and strategies differently. One of the most important skills you can develop is pacing. There's plenty of information online if you give it a Google but basically it's about learning your own limits not overdoing things even when you're having a good day. There's more to it than that but it's important to learn when to stop and say no, fibromyalgia is not the kind of thing you can just push on through. Ask as many questions as you like and don't be afraid to have a good old moan, you won't be judged here and everyone will try to help you in any way they can x

If you need to chat then just shout. I’ve had it a couple of years now. Take care.
