hi everyone, im new today and i want to say hi an look forward to reading how everyone copes or tries new meds.I have friends who think im faking my pain because they think i have no problems walking ect. But i just take extra tablets and hide my pain when we go out because i dont push my illness on people. i dont want sympathy.

Today my arms and fingers hurt like billeo and this has now taken me 10 min. to write. i am fatigued but i am going to enjoy the sun today even if i pay for this tomorrow and the rest of the week. hope you all have a fab day!!

Hiya n welcome (feels strange saying that lol ) as I am new also only joined yesterday, but I have already been made to feel very welcome by everyone and that in itself has lifted my self esteem. Try not to worry about what other people think you and we all know what you are going through, so if you ever want to talk there are so many people you could talk to so I hope you will feel like I do - I feel loved at last lol Im not having a good day today feel like im 90 or something lol take care n will hopefully speak to you again soon. hugs n stuff, mystique xxxx

Hi there,

A warm welcome to you. I only joined this group yesterday too and I'm glad I did! It's a shame that people think that because they can't see FM that it's either all in your head or there's actually nothing wrong with you! It's tough but try not to let it get you down (easier said than done). All the best xx
