Hello everyone, I'm new here ....

I'm a newly diagnosed Fibro sufferer! I've had symptoms for 7 years although they were undiagnosed then mis-diagnosed until now!! Over the years it's worsened and until they gave me the 'fibro' leaflet I hadn't got a clue that so many of my wierd and mysterious bits and peices were in fact all part of this one thing!! This year it is at its worst yet and I think that's what's led to being diagnosed at last!! I have Amytriptilyne, Tramadol, Naproxen and Calcium + vit D (I don't suppose any of you will be shocked to hear that in the process of diagnosing me they also found a Vit D deficiency!!!) I am still trying to come to terms with it all and I have so many questions for you all, I've been reading bogs etc on here and have been humbled by everyone's support of each other and how everyone shares advice and experiences!! I'm very glad to have found this forum just thought i should introduce myself, Helen x x
