Hi all just joined the site tonight so for all intents and purposes I'm a fibroaction virgin - try saying that when your tongue hurts lol. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 7 yrs ago and at first I managed it quiet well with paracetamol and if I'm honest a huge dose of skeptisicm in regards to the existence of such a condition. silly me eh!!!!

For the past 18 months fibromyalgia has been busy attacking me physically, mentally and emotionally and making sure that I never again doubt either its existence nor its widespread impact.

I just wanted to introduce myself to my fellow fibro suffers and hopefully come on here from time to time to get advice, info, support, sympathy, company and a wee bit o craic as we say in belfast.

Drop by and say hi next time your on

Cheers

Hi Dixie. I`ve not been on here for long. It amazing being able to come on here, sometimes when you feel so low and life just isnt worth it I come on, and within just a few minute I feel kind of human again, and not so alone. So a big welcome :) Ann

Hi Dixie and Beebs,

A warm welcome to you both, you can be sure you're among friends here. This is such a lovely site with some wonderful people, you can have a moan, a chuckle, make friends and find helpful info, but most of all you know everyone on here knows how you feel.

Take care

hanx for your lovely warm supportive comment - I think i'm deff gonna like it on here cuz I'm fed up trying to explain to those without this horrible condition just how much and in how many weird ways it affect ya; so being with others who wear the tshirt is soooo liberating :-)
