hi, you'll never be alone with it now, there are many people on this site with personal experience to share. I'm sorry you are very depressed, it's a lot to deal with. Ask away.

regards, sandra

Hello

we have all been there and we understand how you feel. get as much information on fibro as possible google is great and go and see your dr and get on an anti-depressant its harder to deal with the pain when our minds are in a bad place.

here is you want advice on anything you can private message me if you prefer x

keep smiling it does get better x

Hi,

Welcome!

Just ask what you need comment reasonably on anything.

Personally blogging is fine but actual support group is better in long term.I belong to a group & count them as friends I can talk to & get feedback. enjoy

Hi yup you need an anti depressant maybe with a muscle relaxant that gets you on a even keel and it helps me sleep too a problem many other people on here have terrible trouble with. Before I got my meds I didn't sleep and it was so hard ... Now although I have good and bad days the fact I now get sleep is such a help it's amazing how much better you feel after sleeping properly. Don't be afraid to ask your gp for meds ... Mine practically forced mine on me I thought being given anti depressants was awful. I am so glad he did the difference they have made is incredible I have gone from a sleep deprived zombie to a functioning person again.

Take care xx
