Hi againn

I just asked this question because, although ive looked, there doesnt seem to be a support group in or around harrogate and i wondered if there was anyone living around here, woukd they be interested in helping to set one up? Ive no idea where to start!

If anyone does and is interested, let me know. My mum and i both have it and i have a sister who is moving back from scotland in august who also has it. I suspect my 2 daughters both have it too. Ie got 4 more sisters, one of who as diagnosed with cancer that has spread a couple of months ago and i suspect that at least one of them has fm too as they are saying all the things i said before i was diagnosed

Hi Hayley

It's been a while since you wrote this but I've just found it, my wife is a chronic sufferer of this illness and just wondering where you go i.e doctors in Pudsey to get any treatment and are they any good? have you started a group up?

Regards

Garry

I'm from Harrogate... and new to the site. I've had fibro since I was about 12yrs old, I'm now 23. I also have other health problems too though.

Get in touch, would be good to talk

Hi hayley,

Thanks for your reply. I would really aapreciate the information. Would you like me to message you with my email?

Hi sonnybear. Its good to hear from somebody in harrogate. Ive looked in the directory and theres a few people around here, which is why i wondered how you go about getting a group started. There doesnt seem to be that much support in harrogate and i cant drive so cant really get further afield.

I think ive had fibro for around 25 years, although it wasnt acknowledged until 4 years ago and only officially diagnosed in february this year. Through trial and error of medication ive found that not much works for me so far. At the moment i take 800mg tramadol and paracetamol a day. Its nowhere near enough. I was on pregabalin but they recently took me off them with a view to starting duloxetine. I was also on 20mg amytriptylline but i had quite a bad reaction to it and spent a weekend swinging between wanting to end my life or somebody elses! I certainly dont take them anymore.

Can i ask which school you went to, if thats ok? Ive got a daughter your age and you look familiar. I can message you my daughters name if you like. See if you know her?

Love and huggles to both you and hayley. I appreciate your replies

I hope you have a calm, restful and relatively pain free day
