Finally understanding Fibromyalgia

9 Replies

Hi my name is Nanette. I have had osteoarthritis since i was 25 and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2001. I also have djupytrens achilles tendonitis and ledderhose. I try to get on with daily life but the pain is insufferable probably because of lack of sleep like all of you. I didnt realise till i read everything on here that i am not a horrible person that its just the pain that gets me down. I like to bake and draw pictures but i am so exhausted i often just dont make the time and sometimes i think that life is just not worth living.
