Everything makes sense now- fibromyalgia

[ChyChy11]

Iv just recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and everything in my life just all of a sudden started to make sense. Iv never heard of this disorder before, so when I got told I have fibromyalgia and what it was, I felt a weight being lifted. I don't know if that has ever happened to anyone before? It felt good to be able to give what took over my life a name now. All the pains, the aches, stiffness, forgetfulness and the insomnia all made sense. Now the second chapter of my life is to begins and I'm yet to still do more research into this.

P.s. Happy new year everyone and I hope the next year brings you all lots of happiness, love and health.
