Struggling!!

[Fibrofog]

Finding life very hard at the moment. I'm 45 unable to work to to varies health conditions and the latest one fibro!

I don't have the energy to do anything. Yet I'm soooo bored! And my body is just uncomfortable all the time.

Hi and a warm welcome to the forums. You can find general information on fibromyalgia at our website fmauk.org and our patient information booklets at fmauk.org/publications

Do you have a hobby or interest that you can do, even if it's only for a short period of time (listening to an audio book if you enjoy reading for example)

Part of my personal way of managing fibromyalgia is by keeping myself busy, even if it's just doing some crochet or listening to to music.
